Most Sacred Heart School (PreSchool, Elementary, Middle)
Since 1948 Most Sacred Heart Parish has operated a parochial school to pass on the Faith to the children of the Parish. This transfer of the Faith from one generation to the next is one of the goals given to the Catholic church by Christ Himself. Most Sacred Heart Catholic School is committed to our core values. We Nourish the Soul, Embrace the Spirit, Inspire the Mind, Open the Heart, thereby celebrating the Most in Each Child. Besides providing religious education, sacramental preparation, liturgical experience and apostolic and charitable opportunities, Most Sacred Heart School is a Blue Ribbon Accredited elementary school which provides an excellent 21st century education in a Catholic atmosphere. From pre-school to 8th grade, our students excel. Our dedicated and well-trained faculty is ably led by Monica Wilson, principal. Most Sacred Heart School is fully Accredited with the Missouri Nonpublic School Accrediting Association and is a member of the National Federation of Nonpublic School State Accrediting Associations. All teachers hold a Bachelors Degree as well as a Missouri State Teaching Certificate. Many of our teachers hold a Masters Degree and are Paul VI certified.

Craig Plefka
7th Grade Teacher, Middle School Science & Social Studies
Mr. Plefka, as most people know, is a big Blues fan, but they may not know that he played four years of varsity hockey at Parkway West, played for Team Missouri at the Chicago Showcase tournament his junior and senior years, before going on to play Division I club hockey at Saint Louis University. Mr. Plefka still plays hockey 2 or 3 times a week for Men's League or pickup. He also is an avid golfer and during the school year raises trout from eggs in his classroom, eventually delivering them to Westover Farms in Steelville, MO in April or May. One year he successfully raised over 200 trout!

Our Robotics Club students have worked hard this year to build robots and to complete programming challenges in preparation for the Clavius Jamboree - a robotics competition hosted by SLUH. They have worked cooperatively to break down lengthy challenges into parts and to problem solve as a team. As a group, they learned how to employ loops and sensors in their code to solve increasingly complex problems. #inspirethemind
