As the Advisory Board Chairman, I am honored and privileged to work with people who give their time, talent and financial resources for the benefit of the kids and to help Immaculate succeed.

The English Department promotes engagement of the individual through group inquiry and personal analysis, while fostering an appreciation for creative expression of one’s ideas through reading, writing and oratorical activities. Using an inquiry-based approach, students are encouraged to examine and analyze the work of authors, debating context, meaning, and style. Effective public speaking skills, rhetoric, and dramatic conventions are demonstrated in class presentations and theatrical productions.
Immaculate’s students are encouraged to showcase their creative talents through various school, local, and state productions. Student poets, authors, and thespians have been honored annually for their contributions to diverse creative competitions.
Analysis, Inquiry,Expression
Envision, Create,Perform
Identify, Calculate,ApplyWhile seeking new ways to solve problems, teachers provide the opportunity for students to identify processes through experiences including flipped classroom andinquiry-based learning strategies.
Students are challenged to work together to solve problems using traditional methods coupled with innovative significance. Math is less about memorizing and more about understanding and applying equations, formulas and patterns.
The Math team continue to expand it’s competitive reach with students winning local and national recognition. Students in the Probability and Statistics class apply their classroom teaching to real world problem solving. They have been involved in school improvement projects such as the the Learning Commons transformation and the improvements to Dining Services.
The Visual and Performing Arts are essential to obtaining a fully- comprehensive education as theyencourage reflecting on culturalheritages and perception of self.
Immaculate students are recognizedfor their musical and artistic talentsthrough the Tri-M Music Honor Society, the CT Student Film Festival, HALO awards and more.

High school students face many personal and academic challenges. Our physical education program is designed to promote acquiring lifetime skills through fitness, sport, knowledge and attitudes that contribute to a student’s optimal well-being.
Class activities such as the Personal and Lifetime Fitness Challenge students to stretch beyond their comfort level and physical acuity through the use of motivational instruction. Ultimately, students develop a sense of achievement and an understanding of self-motivation, teamwork, sportsmanship and personal accomplishment. These skills provide them with a baseline of lifetime fitness.

Question, Investigate,DiscoverSports medicine students learned the essential principles of sports injuries and medical emergencies. Our new Biomedical Science program engages students in humanitarian inquiry and awareness of forensics, entomology, DNA identification, scientific analysis and transferring of viruses throughout the world. Students have made their gained knowledge relevant volunteering at Danbury Hospital and other health agencies.
Culminating the year’s activities, the Physics class students were seen utilizing what they’d learned by analyzing the variables associated with dropping water balloons outside a window, with the purpose of hitting a specific target, their instructor seated in a chair.
What does it mean to be a student in our Catholic school? It means synthesizing authentic humanity with faith. As a result, the richness of our religion program transcends to all subject areas. Students not only learn about the history and beliefs of our Catholic faith, but are asked how their faith, whether Catholic, Christian or other, is their moral compass in life.
Connection to faith is important to assisting our students in who they become in life. Integrating faith development, prayer life, retreats, social teachings, and community service provides students with time to reflect, to become more knowledgeable about serving others and to be a witness to Christ. This year, 91 students received the Presidential Voluntary Service Award (PVSA) for completing more than 100 community service hours.

What do we learn from our past? Statesman, Winston Churchill acclaimed that ‘those who fail to learn from history, are doomed to repeat it.”
Our social studies program focuses on human relationships, materialisms, cultures, justice, interfaith studies, economy and the impact leaders of the world have had on social freedoms. Students analyze current world events with the purpose of understanding how current decision-making and other trends will impact their future.
Students applied this knowledge of history and law in outside venues by competing in the statewide History Quiz Bowl team and the Regional Mock Trial competition.
Learn History to Make History
Connection ThroughInnovation
Culture, Conversation,Global AwarenessAs globalization, mobility and communication increases, learning a world language becomes more critical. Our program allows students the ability to step inside the mind and context of another culture with the intent to provide them with intercultural understandings.
The Spanish, French, Latin and Chinese instructors enable students to not only communicate through oral and written exercises, they extend their own heritage, experiences and historical knowledge of their native countries.
Interesting activities include cuisine, researching the economies of countries who speak the language being taught, group presentation on promoting world peace, comparative readings on current foreign affairs, religions and international perspectives.
Technology is shaping the world in which we now live. In order to best prepare students for the ever-increasing need to be knowledgeable in current technology programming and applications, the programs offered include understanding the moral and ethical responsibilities associated with the use of technology.
Students are engaged in learning business management and bestbusiness practices through an introduction to current accountingsoftware. Our Computer Programming courses have grown to include multiple years of programming.
As an extension of the technology program, a new extra-curricularprogram, the Cyber Patriots, was introduced this year to promotefurther understanding of the importance of digital citizenship.

Athletics lay the foundation for the development of student athletes into respectful and responsible adults. Our coaches work collaboratively with our teaching staff to ensure the success of our student athletes both in the classroom and on the field. 75% of student athletes are on the honor roll. In the end, it comes down to the dedication of the student to meet all of his or her responsibilities, and overwhelmingly, they do.
Dedicated Committed ResilientAthletes learn through time that their performance on the field can result in success as well as failure. Our successes this year are notable: Fifteen of our programs qualified for both the South West Conference playoffs and the State Tournament. Girls Soccer won the first Class L State Championship in school history in a team sport. The first year of ATI United football was a success, finishing 8-3. The Girls Basketball team advanced to the semifinals of the Class S State tournament for the first time since 1992, while Girls Softball qualified for the State Tournament for the first time in 21 years. Girls Volleyball and Girls Swimming competed in their inaugural Varsity seasons, with Girls swimming placing in the top ten in both the SWC and Class M State Championships.
Eighty-three percent of our students play at least one sport, while 40% play two or more sports! Many of these students are involved in one or more other school activities as well. This commitment to the life of the school community, and the environment that enables it to flourish, is a hallmark of the Immaculate experience.

Immaculate High School has a vibrant Fine Arts program. Nearly all IHS students are involved with art, band, chorus drama, guitar ensemble, musical theater or sound design. The new sound recording studio is available for students to practice and record original work as well as work of famous artists. The Fine Arts Program’s emphasis is to challenge each student to develop their means of self-expression to their personal best. Fine Arts is the art of finding yourself!
The Immaculate High School Fine Arts Program provides much more than a classroom experience for our students. It is essential for all students to discover themselves and to develop their talents through performing and visual arts opportunities.
Students participate in a rigorous curriculum that encourages creativity, encourages risk taking and enables them to apply their artistic skills beyond the classroom. The program includes: Drawing, Sculpting, Design, Chorus, Band, Musical Theater and Sound Design. The department offers studio, non-performing, and performing settings
and focuses equally on the process of learning as well as the production. We believe it is vital to provide students with experiences that
will instill a life-long love for, appreciation of, and involvement in the arts. The programs expose students with opportunities to participate in art exhibitions,
concerts, coffeehouses, drama and musical theater.
Immaculate High School Fine Arts students develop a remarkable work ethic, along with a high level
of proficiency and sophistication of work. Such quality often results in college scholarships and prestigious awards.

Campus Ministry empowers Immaculate teens to grow in three key areas: sacramental, social and service, in order to build a community whose members partake of and appreciate their Catholic faith, as well as respect and care for each other and those in need. We pray together, have fun together and work for others together.
20
Sacramental activities begin with a focus on the Eucharist, which Saint John Paul II said was the way to draw youth to the Church. Adoration and Mass are available daily. Additional activities include special holiday and holy day school-wide Masses, a prayer service for 12/14, class retreats, a Lenten penance service and opportunities for confession, plus teaching Masses for the religion classes where topics this year have included sacred traditions, the history and theological basis of Lent, and the rosary.
Sacramental Social ServiceJohn Paul II said we begin to discover our self-worth through Service. Campus Ministry offers students many opportunities to give service whether
it be at the Morning Glory breakfast program at Dorothy Day House in Danbury, the Midnight Run program in NYC, Housatonic Habitat for Humanity in New Milford and Danbury, or rake and bake days in local communities. Each
service opportunity is filled to capacity with students.
Social activities provide fellowship in a peer group that shares a faith commitment. Outings to ball games, concerts, the March for Life, hosting Spirit Sports and Snacks for partner parochial school students and entering a float in the Danbury St. Patrick’s Day Parade not only create community within IHS but also help integrate IHS into the local community.

Our alumni are an important part of the rich Immaculate history - a story that spans over 50 years! Over 6,000 graduates have left our halls, but Immaculate has not left them. Witnessing how so many of our alumni have shared their time, talents and treasures to help sustain and advance the Mission, has been nothing short of inspiring. With every passing month, our alumni are becoming increasingly active and engaged in what we are doing on Southern Boulevard. The Alumni Association looks forward to serving each of you. “Once a Mustang … Always a Mustang!”

The Deakin family embodies the saying, “Once a Mustang…Always a Mustang!” Mike Deakin ’81 marveled, “A Deakin
attended Immaculate High School for all but one or two years from about 1975 to 1994, and now my nephews attend IHS and my sister, Bridget, teaches there. It’s hard to believe that a Deakin has been a part of over half of the school’s history! We’re proud of that, and so happy to be a part of IHS’s continued success.”
When asked why she decided to send her seven children (pictured with her from L-R: Tim Deakin ‘77, Brendan Deakin ‘86, Bridget Deakin Henry ‘92, Mary Deakin Johnson ‘80, Sean Deakin ‘87, Moira Deakin Finney ‘93, Mary Deakin Fredlund, Michael Deakin ‘81) to Immaculate High School, Mary Deakin Fredlund said, “I chose to send my children to Immaculate High School because I have long valued a Catholic education. In countless large and small ways, the hallways, classrooms and fields of Immaculate became a home away from home for all of my children. It was a blessing to know that my children were safe and cared for, as they were continuously surrounded by teachers, staff and coaches that truly became a part of our extended family. I am grateful for the education my children received at Immaculate High School and will always treasure the Immaculate years.” This past winter, you could find Mary sitting in the IHS bleachers, cheering on two of her grandchildren, Jack and Liam, as they played on the freshman basketball team.
Brendan ’86, Liam’s father, recently joined the IHS Alumni Association as Vice President. As for Liam’s freshman year, Brendan commented that, “Liam’s experience at IHS has exceeded both his own and his parents’ expectations. He has, on several
occasions, expressed how happy he is to be at Immaculate -- a true reflection of what a special place Immaculate is.” Brendan, and his wife Diane, have generously supported scholarships for students who might not otherwise have been able to attend Immaculate.
When asked about his experience at Immaculate, Sean ’87, shared, “Immaculate prepared me for the future by teaching me about faith and community. My lifelong friends and mentors have come from IHS. I know that my son, John ‘18, and my daughter Finan ‘19 will learn so much at Immaculate and will continue to grow in their faith.” Sean has generously supported many events at Immaculate, including our upcoming 50th Anniversary Weekend in October. “The 50th Anniversary will be a great time for past and future graduates! Everyone will have the opportunity to see how IHS as grown over the years.”

Bridget (Deakin) Henry ‘92 was inducted into the IHS Hall of Fame in 2010 for her outstanding accomplishments in basketball and softball. She has returned to Immaculate as a faculty member in the science department. Her dedication to her students and love of Immaculate is evident in everything she does. “My years at Immaculate have always held a special place in my heart. I have always considered Immaculate High School part of my extended family as I was supported, encouraged, challenged and loved there in countless and immeasurable ways. If I can give back to one student, even an ounce of what I received at Immaculate High School, then I have begun to
repay a debt for which I am infinitely grateful.”
Moira (Deakin) Finney ’93 will join her sister Bridget and a long list of outstanding Mustang athletes, when she is inducted into the IHS Athletic Hall of Fame on March 5, 2016 for her outstanding softball career. Moira shared, “My memories of IHS are nothing short of wonderful. The high school years are transformative ones, and the academic and athletic support I received from the teachers, coaches, counselors and clergy contributed immensely to the person I am today. They were amazing role models and I try to emulate them in all facets of my life.”
The Deakins are a shining example of why Immaculate High School feels like a family, and you can bet they are excited about the upcoming 50th Anniversary events. “I hope that Immaculate lives on for another 50+ years, so that future generations can reap the benefits of this special place,” Moira enthused. We are grateful for their unyielding support!

a FaMily traditionImmaculate High School has become a tradition for many of our families. Eight members of the Class of 2015 are considered “legacies,” or students having one or more parents who graduated from Immaculate. These second generation students know that their parents wanted them to have the same gift of a Catholic secondary school education that they received as Mustangs. This brings a wonderful sense of tradition to our school and we look forward to seeing the number of legacy students continue to grow!
