Meet Maggie Hefferman, a Sacred Heart Villa alumna (2011–2013) who is heading into her freshman year at Harvard College this fall!

Some of Maggie's favorite Villa memories? Playing in the atrium with Sister Maria, exploring the playground and grotto, and getting creative in the art room.

Looking back, Maggie says the Villa's Catholic education and its ASCJ charism shaped who she is today — sparking a lifelong commitment to service and prayer that carried her through Cor Jesu and beyond.

Maggie’s biggest takeaway? "Finding God in all the different parts of my life" — a value the Villa instilled early on and one she still carries with her.

Maggie's advice to current Villa families: “The school and its people build a foundation that lasts both academically and spiritually.”

Congratulations, Maggie! We're so proud of you and we can't wait to see where Harvard takes you next!
