We, the Immaculate Conception School Community, are the future of a better world; centered on loving God, self, and others in pursuit of academic and personal excellence.

We seek to lead our students:

1. to commit themselves to a set of Christian values which will make them secure in their own beliefs, live the Gospel message, and show leadership in society;
2. to develop an appreciation of the personal worth and dignity of every person and acknowledge their obligation of service to others;
3. to gain and use knowledge to make sound judgments based on Christian principles, to think independently, logically, and creatively, and thus attain the greatest possible development of their own potential;
4. to be witnesses for Christ through participation in home life, in the parish community, in the sacramental and liturgical life of the Church, and in service to all;
5. to appreciate the beauty in art, music, and literature;
6. to use communication arts effectively in life situations;
7. to develop desirable habits and attitudes of healthful living for mind and body;
8. to be concerned with and respond to our changing environment, to seek solutions to current problems, and to build a better world for the future;
9. to continue to be life-long learners, through the use of educational technology.

In May 1999, Immaculate Conception School was granted Full Accreditation by the Ohio Catholic School Accreditation Association. A School Improvement Plan for the next five years is available in the school office.
