The Sacred Heart sisters, Delhi Province, started the ‘Sacred Heart Convent School’ in a rented building in Heera Bagh. Though the ‘Sacred Heart Convent School, Jagraon’ had a humble start in a rented building, it prospered beyond expectations. Mother Theresa Margaret, Sr. Josephine and all those who gladly undertook the trouble to initiate this humble seedling can proudly and delightedly look at this mighty institution today.

Mr. Lohia a well known advocate was the key person who encouraged and inspired us to start a convent school here and took us around to locate the present plot where the school is situated. On November 26, 1989, the land was purchased from Mr. Sachedeva, a well known resident of Jagraon. It took one year to construct a few rooms in the school site. Meanwhile a small house was rented out in Hirabagh to start admissions and conduct classes. Another house was rented out for the sisters to stay in Hira bagh itself. The response from the residents of Jagraon was commendable. They placed their trust in us; though there was no building and facilities, they were willing to entrust their children to our care. We acknowledge with love the love and support of our benevolent parents today with a grateful heart.
