Welcome to Shakopee Area Catholic School

HISTORY
SACS is proud to carry on a tradition of Catholic Education in Shakopee, Minnesota. Our history is richly blessed with the collaboration of community, parish and individual leadership to create a unique learning environment for children Pre-K through 8th Grade.
MISSION
Shakopee Area Catholic School strives to meet each students' educational needs in a Catholic Christian atmosphere.
History in the Making
A candid discussion is at the root of SACS' heritage of education and community:
Kitty Hauer: “Farmer, we need a new school.”
Farmer Marschall: “What are you talking about?”
Kitty: “The temperature upstairs is 85°. There’s no circulation. It’s 65°on the first floor. One room has to have an ice pack on the thermostat just to keep the temperature above freezing. Some rooms have only one electrical outlet. There’s no room for storage anywhere. We gotta do something Farmer. We need a new school.”
Farmer: “Then let’s go build one.”

Community
SACS is more than a school, it is a network of enthusiastic individuals who care, nurture, educate and help the community.
Counseling
SACS contracts with Phoenix School Counseling for counseling services. Dr. Steve Kahn is the founder of this group that now works in 25 Catholic schools throughout the greater Twin Cities area.
Counselors are available to meet individually with students upon parent request and to provide classroom guidance sessions on any needed topic. Testing is available for attention, learning or emotional concerns.
Dr. Kahn is available for individual meetings or phone calls with parents on any matter pertaining to children and parenting. He is the author of the well-regarded book on parenting: Insightful Parenting: Making Moments Count.
There is never a charge for any service from Dr. Kahn or his counselors as they are included as part of your tuition.
Safety
Safety management procedures are an integral part of SACS. The administration and staff take substantial measures to provide a safe learning environment for students.
