Duchesne Academy Of The Sacred Heart In OmahaThe Duchesne Academy of the Sacred Heart in Omaha is an independent, Catholic, college-preparatory high school for girls, and is also home to a co-ed Preschool. The Academy was established in Omaha in 1881 and is named in honor of St. Philippine Duchesne, one of the first women to join the Sacred Heart convent, and who came to the United States from France in the early 1800s and established the first Sacred Heart school in St. Charles, MO. Duchesne students are taught the five sacred heart goals and experience countless traditions while in attendance. One of the oldest traditions, Prize Day, is held on the last day of the school year. Students are recognized for academic excellence on this day. Other traditions include Honors Day, where students are recognized for leadership and athletics, Ring Ceremony, where the Senior Class bestows class rings on the Juniors, and Mater, where sophomore recognize women who have been models of the Virgin Mary within their lives. Duchesne is one of 21 schools in the Sacred Heart Network in the United States. There is also a Duchesne Academy of the Sacred Heart in Houston, TX.
