CONGRATULATIONS FR. DON & MR. MAHAFFE 

SHA bus driver, Mr. Bill Mahaffey and SHA Director of Transportation, Fr. Don Henkes. 

Sacred Heart Academy recently received a certificate of excellence issued by the Michigan State Police, Motor Carrier Division, for achieving a 100% pass rate for school bus safety inspections.  

Students arrive at school by car, private transportation company, or local school bus.  The Administration assists families with arranging transportation with the public school bus garage.  The public school bus garage phone number is 989-775-2323.  Busing is available for most situations but is not guaranteed.
 
For families who live in the Alma area, SHA has finalized a fee for the morning-only bus shuttle from Alma to SHA.  Listed below is the fee structure for the shuttle to operate as a break-even service.  All families agree to pay at a per/family rate rather than a per/student rate.  The price breakdown for Alma families is listed below.
