Rev. Sr. Sobel, with her farsighted vision and selfless devotion tirelessly worked as the Principal of the school from 1989 to 2010 taking it to the pinnacles of glory. The story of Sacred Heart Senior Secondary School, Bhai Randhir Singh Nagar will always be inextricably linked to Rev. Sr. Sobel whose 21 long years of able administration, dynamic leadership and far sighted vision as The Principal transformed the school into a prestigious institution. The school grew from strength to strength under the stewardship of Rev. Sr. Sobel and achieved several landmark achievements during her tenure as the principal of the school such as enrollment of girls, up gradation of the school to senior secondary wing, establishment of well-equipped modern science, mathematics and computers laboratories, starting of a Counselling Cell, NCC Wing a proactive Old students Association, starting and above all creating an environment conducive to learning. She has diligently canvassed for many modern and unconventional facilities the school now has such as building of an air-conditioned auditorium and church, use of mikes for delivering lectures in senior secondary wing, and the use of digitalized classrooms i.e. Smart Class just to name a few of her salient and significant contributions. She had faced formidable challenges while she championed for this new school, raised funds, customized construction plans, fended off skeptics, educated and inspired several generations of students to become confident, thinking, sensitive and tenacious individuals – traits that she role modeled in her day to day living.
Her insightful reflections that were often shared in the school newsletters and assembly speeches inspired both the teachers and students to think beyond possibilities.
Each and every pillar of the school is a testimony of Sr. Sobel’s words and deeds.
The story of Rev. Sr. Sobel who built a school with people and not school walls taking it to the pinnacles of glory is indeed legendary and awe inspiring within the learning community and beyond.
