I've been a fifth grade teacher in this school for the last thirty- three years and retired last year. All three of my kids attended this academic institution. We were glad we made the choice and how do I know that by just looking at my grown- up children! Immaculate Conception School is a small treasure to invest because its value is priceless!

I couldn't be more pleased with the education my two children are receiving from this school! It not only treats everyone as a member of the family, but instills the values that are harder to find now a days. The faith filled curriculum is top notch!
