Happy Birthday and Safe Travels, Fr. Jeremy Sabugo, ss.cc.

Sacred Hearts Academy extends warm birthday blessings to Fr. Jeremy Sabugo, ss.cc., who celebrated his birthday over the weekend.

We are deeply grateful for his faithful ministry as our school chaplain and for the many ways he helps nurture the mission and vision of the Sisters of the Sacred Hearts within our community. His presence, guidance, and spiritual leadership continue to inspire our students, faculty, staff, and families.

As he continues his travels abroad, we lift him in prayer:

"Loving God, we thank You for the gift of Fr. Jeremy's life and vocation. Bless him on his birthday and throughout the year ahead. Grant him good health, joy, wisdom, and peace. Keep him safe in his travels, protect him wherever he may go, and bring him safely back to our Sacred Hearts Academy 'ohana. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen."

We wish Fr. Jeremy a blessed birthday, safe travels, and God's abundant grace. We look forward to welcoming him back to campus later this month. 🤍💛🙏✈️

Why an All-Girls Education Matters

Girls' schools are uniquely positioned to support the ways girls learn and grow. Studies have shown that students attending all-girls schools often report strong levels of support from both their classmates and teachers, helping them build confidence and achieve their full potential.

At Sacred Hearts Academy, this philosophy shapes everything we do. Our curriculum and learning environment are intentionally designed to encourage academic excellence, leadership development, and personal growth. By fostering confidence and resilience, we empower students to flourish not only during their time at the Academy but throughout their lives.

From preschool through grade 12, Sacred Hearts Academy offers programs tailored specifically for girls and young women at every stage of their educational journey.

We invite families to learn more about our vibrant school community. Contact our Admission Team or complete an inquiry form today to discover what makes a Sacred Hearts Academy education so special. 🤍💛

The Power of YOU: Kiana Cayabyab Inspires SHA Student Ambassadors

Sacred Hearts Academy's Student Ambassadors gathered this October for a workshop with a simple, powerful theme: "The Power of YOU — Building Your Personal Brand, Confidence & Future."

Leading the session was special guest presenter Kiana Cayabyab, a Hawaiʻi journalist, host, model, actor, and content creator. Born and raised on Kauaʻi, Cayabyab is a Kamehameha Schools Kapālama graduate who went on to Loyola Marymount University before building a career in journalism and hosting — most recently as a Digital News Host with the Honolulu Star-Advertiser.

Framing her talk as "My Journey: From Kauaʻi to Creating My Own Path," Cayabyab walked students through the pillars of an authentic personal brand: confidence and authenticity, creating opportunities, and overcoming challenges — closing with words of wisdom and an open Q&A.

Her central message resonated across the room: "Your personal brand isn't about creating a perfect image. It's about knowing who you are, what you stand for, and how you want to show up in the world."

Mahalo to Kiana Cayabyab for sharing her story and investing in our young women — the next generation of women who lead.
