In the fall of 1949, the Sisters
opened Sacred Heart Schools, Grades K-7, on Court Street in Plymouth, MA
with an enrollment of 148
students. In 1953, the Sisters opened their
first newly constructed school building, housing the Junior High (grades
7-8) and High School (grades 9-12) on Route 80 in Kingston, MA. The second building
constructed is used primarily as
a residence for the Sisters, on the Sacred Heart campus, and formerly housed
the Kindergarten program. In 1963,
Sacred Heart Elementary School (grades 1 through 6) moved from the
Plymouth location into a new school that was the third building
constructed as part of the expanded Kingston campus. 
Route 80 is owned and operated by the Sisters of Divine
Providence. The enrollment of the combined schools exceeds 1,100 students
who reside within a 30-mile geographic radius of the schools.
