The Regis School of the Sacred Heart

[4] In August, 1991, the school opened with 38 students in facilities leased from Holy Cross Lutheran Church.

[3] Over the years, growth of the school necessitated the installation of three temporary classroom buildings to house the upper grades.

In 2001, construction began on a new schooling building and several additional improvements, including a regulation sports field.

On November 8, 2007, Pulitzer Prize-winning humorist Dave Barry and New York Times bestseller Ridley Pearson visited the school in the afternoon.

[10] On January 30, 2012, the school held its first ever career day, where students had the opportunity to hear about a variety of jobs from professional workers.

[11] The school held its first large event in the new Student Life Center in a liturgy celebrating Grandparent's Day on October 19, 2012.

[12] Regis officially opened the Student Life Center for daily use on November 6, 2012, with its liturgy for the dedication of the new building.

[citation needed] Through its reflective process concerning how its community lives the Goals and Criteria, Regis received its SHCOG renewal site visit in March 2009.

In the late 1960s and in the aftermath of the Second Vatican Council, Sacred Heart schools faced a number of serious challenges.

Eventually, five goals true to the inspiration of St. Madeleine Sophie Barat were published that helped to define what a Sacred Heart school strives to do.

Specific criteria were drawn up for judging whether an institution was indeed following the five goals and deserved membership in the Network of Sacred Heart Schools.

The original Goals and Criteria published in 1975 were adapted and redefined in 2005 to reflect more accurately the challenges facing the schools.

The Early Childhood playing is started with learning about their unique talents and how they can affect the world positively.

The framework of Sacred Heart Schools: faith, academics, service, community building and the making of wise decisions is incorporated in all sectors.

There is an atmosphere of family and nurturing which is felt and an indelible acceptance of serenity and peace when one walks through the door.

[18] The Middle School offers students a rich core curriculum integrating active and experiential learning.

Students become well-versed in using technology to help them explore the information within their course of study and produce multimedia presentations for projects.

The building houses a gymnasium, weight room, indoor cafeteria, additional instructional classrooms, assembly area for drama and music productions, the Celebration of the Liturgy, and special events.

[23] In 2013, Regis once again participated in the Academic Rally, this time winning five gold, five silver, three bronze medals, and nine honorable mentions.

The Regis Varsity Basketball Team won the 2008 Greater Houston Catholic Athletic Association by defeating the St. Laurence Saints at Strake Jesuit’s gymnasium with a score of 70-68.

In January 2012, the Regis Knights Varsity basketball team also placed third in its respective tournament by defeating St. Elizabeth Ann Seton.

Later that season, the Varsity team won third place overall in the GHCAA playoffs with a victory over Sacred Heart Conroe.

In the 2012-13 school year, the Regis soccer team played in the championship game, where they were defeated by John Paul II, claiming Second Place.

The Regis Basketball team started off the season winning First Place in the annual St. Thomas High School tournament, defeating Trafton by one point.

[31] Regis offers Kidventure as an organized after school option for the convenience of parents and the benefits of students.

The purpose of the After School Camp is to provide a program geared towards the continued development and growth of each boy in the areas of academics, sports, and fine arts.

The 19-member Board of Trustees consists of the head of the school, parents of current and former students, Sacred Heart nuns, and other religious leaders.

The Members of the Regis Board of Trustees as of 2016-2017 included: Mr. Brett Agee, Mr. Tristan Berlanga, Mrs. Anita Bryant Sr. Anne Byrne (RSCJ), Mrs. Maricarmen Cano, Mr. John Cogan, Mrs. Julie Davis, Mr. Erik Dybesland Sr. Sharon Karam (RSCJ), Mrs. Wanda Kielty, Mrs. Megan Long, Mr. Sean Muller, Fr.

Jim Murphy (CSB), Mr. Trip Norkus, Mr. Matthew Schicke, Mrs. Lauren Summerville, Mr. Ivan Villarreal, Mr. Charles Wilson, and Mr. Dennis Phillips, ex-officio.

Anne Storey Carty, the headmistress, said during that year that, as paraphrased by Richard Vara of the Houston Chronicle, "the education is not cheap".
