Notable alumnae

Nancy Pelosi's daughter went to school at sacred heart her whole life (i think k through 12) . However she is not in the alumnie. Maybe some of Nancys other daughters went here too? Peppermintschnapps (talk) 23:45, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

History of the Convent in NYC

I found three sources that hint that the Convent's history in NYC might go back a few decades further than 1881 (the official year declared by the Convent and wikipedia):

  1. An 1867 map from Library of Congress shows the Convent already existing NW of 129th St and Eighth Ave (where CUNY Center for Discovery and Innovation is now). Later maps confirm this. See: https://www.loc.gov/item/2015591056/
  2. Society of the Sacred Heart's own history states: "In 1840, Aloysia Hardey moved to New York City where the first school and convent of the Society of the Sacred Heart in the eastern United States had been opened". See: https://rscj.org/key-figures-in-our-history
  3. Catholic Encylopedia states: "This alphabetic list of thirty convents, of which a few are now closed, represents the toil of more than forty years (from New York, 1841, to Atlantic City, 1883)". See: https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07134b.htm

Apparently, all the above including the location and origin, overlap with the history of

Manhattanville College (which moved to Westchester County in 1952). There might be undocumented shared history and a possible split in 1881 as they both share a common Society of the Sacred Heart origin and the name of the Manhattanville's school location is "Convent of the Sacred Heart" shown on many maps going back as far as a 1853 map (see https://digitalcollections.nypl.org/items/3c1ee010-1707-0135-31ee-6b5a5c8e14fe) and as late as a 1953 map (see https://digitalcollections.nypl.org/items/bf8c2084-4a49-9359-e040-e00a18061e2b
). Ninel (talk) 22:28, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As Manhattanville College is a post-secondary school and the Convent of the Sacred Heart is a PK-12 school, the hypothetical 1881 split might have been intentional (despite the lack of shared lineage from either official history). Ninel (talk) 22:41, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
