OGDEN — The Sacred Heart Academy has been gone for 50 years, but it lives still in the memories of fomer students who wanted others to know of the contributions the school made in the early days of Ogden.

In 1878, seven Catholic Sisters who were members of Holy Cross Ministries established the Sacred Heart Academy on 26th Street and Washington Boulevard in Ogden. Over the years, many residents attended music classes and kindergarten at the academy.

By 1883 there were 200 students attending the academy. By 1889 the school had outgrown itself and a new one was built on 25th Street. The school accommodated 600 boarding students and 21 sisters.
