"I transferred to Immaculata in 3rd grade. I was nervous to start at a new school, but as soon as my siblings and I walked through the front doors we were immediately greeted with welcoming arms and smiling faces.
More than twenty years later, I walked through the front doors again, this time as a teacher, and experienced the same warm welcome I did as a student. Immaculata is truly a special place, filled with kind and loving people who are willing to go out of their way to make your needs a priority. Some of my fondest memories with friends, teachers, and coaches are from my time spent at Immaculata. I am so thankful for all that ICS has done for me, and I am blessed to have the opportunity to finally give back to a school that has given me so much." — Alum and Former ICS Teacher |
