From the Alumnae Corner
Dear Fellow Alumnae ,
As we “ Celebrate 134 Years of Abundant Gratitude ” in this our 4th Edition of the Alumnae Directory , which is now complete , I celebrate you , my fellow Alumnae , who have given me and your school 100 % of your support for the past 33 years .
As ICA Alumnae , we have received the gift of an education in the Dominican tradition that promoted academic excellence , life-long learning , and service to God , family and community . Our mission at ICA remains the same today . You have truly given back , through your generosity and your belief that young women should receive the same quality Catholic education that once was afforded to us . The Dominican Sisters , students , faculty and staff remain indebted to you for the consistent support and pride you take in having graduated from the Academy . Yes , the times may be different in the 21st Century , but the goals of an ICA education and the values we teach remain the same .

I encourage you to use your Alumnae Association to maintain ties to your ICA family and to continue to support not only your Alma Mater , but one another . We are here for you — the doors at 3625 - 24th Street are always open !
Join me now in the challenge to go forward , ensuring that we will continue to extend the opportunity for young women to attend ICA , receive a quality Catholic education in the “ Spartan Spirit ,” and say with pride “ I ’ m a graduate of Immaculate Conception Academy !”
Be proud of your Alma Mater ! With love and gratitude ,
