edgewood high school of the sacred heart

Sponsored since its inception by the Dominican Sisters of Sinsinawa, WI, Edgewood High School of the Sacred Heart is a Catholic high school whose mission is to educate the whole student for a life of learning, service and personal responsibility through a rigorous academic curriculum embracing the Sinsinawa Dominican values of Truth, Compassion, Justice, Partnership and Community.

The SNL member and comedic actor went to school and graduated from here. During one homecoming at Edgewood, Farley became famous for his prank of releasing 3 pigs into the school, numbered 1, 2, and 4. The search for pig number three lasted weeks.

American artist Georgia O'Keefe also went to school here as a boarder, when the facility was named Sacred Heart Academy, from 1901 to 1902.
