The history of Immaculate Heart of Mary is both exciting and interesting. It all starts with the building of the school and church. In 1953, the school and church were built simultaneously. The making of the school and church were exhilarating. The original drawings for the school and church don’t look alike to the present day buildings. The church has a tower to the left side. Also it’s not in the cross shape it is today. The school looks pretty much alike in the original drawing and the school today. The most recent project was adding the addition to the school. In 1992, the Parish Community Center was built.

      The past of I.H.M. will never be forgotten. It consist of a person who had an effect on everyone. This great man was Father McIntyre. Also shown above are pictures of the nuns, a fifth grade class working diligently on a project, a first grade class at gym, and the class of 1962.

      The present priest and deacon are Father McCann, Father Jonathan, Father Pahler, and Deacon Seal. Religion is very important to this school. It’s name, Immaculate Heart of Mary, is named about the Blessed Mother, Mary. Outside the church is a statue of Mary holding her baby, Jesus. The statue is very pleasant and has received many complements.

           The present and future are something great to look forward too. The school has many programs to offer to the children here. There is cheerleading, basketball, baseball, softball, volleyball, soccer, football, cantering, altering, student council, girl scouts, boy scouts, and many more. Many people how had the opportunity to attend this school has been very successful in life. It has taught them and the children here how to be respectful, responsible, caring, kind, love and more. I feel so lucky to be here at this school along with my classmates. This school is a great start to a bright future.
