“Sacred Hearts Academy selected St. Joan of Arc as the patron saint of athletes because she was a strong and valiant young woman during her time.”

Joan of Arc led the French troops at the head of the battalions and carried the lance with the banner of France into battle. She inspired the troops by giving them the heart and strength to fight. She possessed the strength of will and determination to overcome great obstacles. Academy athletes take pride in being known as the “Lancers”, exhibiting the same spirit, courage and discipline of their patron saint, Joan of Arc.
