Sacred Heart Public School is a former school facility in Sacred Heart, Minnesota, United States. The original building was constructed in 1901 and expanded in 1929, 1953, 1964, and 1974. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014 for having local significance in education, entertainment/recreation, and social history.
