PHILOSOPHY/OBJECTIVES

The purpose of Immaculate Conception High School is to encourage students to achieve his/her maximum potential through a college-oriented curriculum designed to develop the whole person. These goals include: Catholic formation; intellectual, emotional and physical development; social consciousness; and cultural awareness. With this purpose in mind, students, faculty, administration, and parents of Immaculate Conception High School work together under the patronage of the Blessed Mother to form a worshipping, learning, serving, and loving Christ-centered community.

As a result of an education at Immaculate Conception High School, students will learn to:

• Apply Christian values, as taught by the Catholic Church, which will be evident by their behavior. These values will be encouraged and reinforced through activities such as Christian Service, mission support, extraordinary ministers of the Eucharist, service clubs, National Honor Society and Student Council.

• Understand the function, goals and teachings of the Catholic Church as demonstrated by meaningful participation in liturgical services and successful completion of four years of Theology.

• Recognize and develop their strengths through a wide variety of academic and non-academic activities. The students’ success in their chosen activities will be an indication of this development.

• Develop self-confidence, which will enable students to accept leadership roles, accept more responsibilities, and demonstrate mature behavior. This confidence will be developed through individual guidance, both formal and informal.

• Demonstrate an understanding of our system of democracy and an awareness of current local, national and world events. Their active participation as contributing members of the community will be he measure of success.

• Acquire the academic knowledge and skills needed to achieve success in college. A high percentage of graduates experiencing success in higher education will serve as evidence of the achievement of this objective.

• Learn to respect every human being as an individual. This respect will be demonstrated by a friendly, cooperative spirit among students, faculty, parents, and community.
