Sacred Heart Academy Honors Branford Residents

Each year, incoming freshmen with the highest entrance exam scores and those who demonstrate outstanding academic potential are selected to receive the Sister Antonine Signorelli, ASCJ Memorial Scholarship. Established in 1993, the scholarship honors the life, philosophy, and achievements of the Academy’s founding principal. These students display strong academic success with promise of future accomplishment and truly affirm the Academy’s motto, Excelsior.

The administration and current Antonine Scholars recently celebrated the arrival of our new scholars and their parents at a reception in their honor. Sacred Heart is proud of these young women and all members of the incoming Class of 2023.
