Private Institution - Sacred Heart Academy |
Image Captions |
The land for the new Sacred Heart Academy was purchased in 1881 for $20,000, but it was another ten years before the school could be built. Saint Mary's College of South Bend, Indiana paid for most of the construction of the school buildings. Sisters of the Holy Cross administered and did much of the teaching at Sacred Heart. The school opened in September 1892 and closed in June of 1938. |
Description |
Ogden City was still evolving when the first school was established in 1850 with Charilla Abbott as the first teacher. The school system continued to grow with public and private institutions accepting students. A bond issue passed in 1890 allowing for new buildings, including the showplace school, Central. Ogden High School called the “best and most attractive school in the world” was opened on October 29, 1937 after a cost of $1.2 million. Ogden High School and others still stand as proof of the community’s commitment to education. |
