Duchesne Academy of the Sacred Heart (/djuːˈʃɛn/ dew-SHEN)[1] is a combined primary and secondary independent girls' school located at 10202 Memorial Drive in Houston, Texas.

A member of the Network of Sacred Heart Schools, it offers a college preparatory curriculum for girls.

[2] Duchesne, which enrolls girls from pre-K3 to the 12th grade, is part of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston and the Independent Schools Association of the Southwest.

The school is named after Saint Rose Philippine Duchesne, the first member of the Society of the Sacred Heart to come to America.

[citation needed] In 1974, Texas Monthly stated that students from Duchesne and nearby Saint Agnes Academy originated from "mostly business and professional people with money".

As a part of the student's religious studies, freshman and sophomores must complete two service projects each semester, while juniors and seniors take a social awareness course and volunteer throughout the Houston area.
