October 9, 2015 We are so pleased that you are able to join us at the first of many 50th anniversary celebrations which will take place throughout this school year! As you can see by the schedule of events listed in this program book as well as our suggested ‘Things To Do’ list, there’s a lot for you to enjoy while on campus or in the Danbury area.

This weekend’s all class reunion of alumni and current students provides each of us an opportunity to rekindle friendships and reflect on the school’s past, present and future. It is also a time to remind ourselves that Immaculate High School was founded as a result of the extraordinary commitment of local parishioners, religious, businesses and other organizations, many of whom continue to support our school.

We are an extremely proud and a very blessed Immaculate family. The success of our graduates, inspires and motivates current students. It is the respect of our past that supports our ability to magnify the opportunities provided students with a shared vision that we continue the legacy to prepare them to become responsible, moral citizens.

A sincere thanks to Denise (Henry) Suarez ‘87, Alumni Relations Director, the over fifty alumni parent, staff and teacher volunteers who raised their hand to assist with this weekend’s celebrations as well as share the good news about Immaculate and to the more than fifty benevolent event sponsors.

Welcome Back! We hope that you enjoy this momentous weekend with your fellow Mustangs!

October 9, 2015 Fifty years ago the faculty and staff sent the first graduating class of Immaculate High School out into the world to do great things. The first class, and the succeeding classes, have earned a reputation for excellence in academics, athletics, and the arts. They have also sustained an amazing legacy of leadership and service rooted in our mission as a Catholic school.

Our celebration recognizes and honors all the hard work, discipline, and talent represented in our community during the past 50 years. It is a remarkable story of a strong community of faculty and staff, students and parents, who have always accepted the greater challenge, the greater role, always striving for the greater good.

This is a time of incredible momentum and possibility for Immaculate as we move forward together with a clear purpose and commitment to cura personalis, the continued holistic preparation of our students to become successful leaders in the world. We remind ourselves that whatever we have achieved is through God’s help and guidance. Now, God calls each one of us to carry forward Immaculate’s larger sense of purpose and take our rightful place among the giants upon whose shoulders we stand.

I invite you to join together to push forward to the next historic chapter in our beloved school. We recall the simple truth of the Immaculate High School motto, To seek truth is to seek God. Together, on that journey for truth we will continue to produce the leaders of tomorrow who in turn continue to make impressive contributions to their communities.

October 9, 2015 Dear Friends of Immaculate High School, It is a wonderful moment in time, as we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the first graduating class of Immaculate High School. Vivid memories of the early days fill my mind and heart. Each thing that we did was a new beginning. Those were very happy and challenging days. Fifty years later, we wish fifty more.

May God bless Immaculate High School abundantly,

Monsignor John Hossan First Principal of Immaculate High School

ANNUAL FUND

Contributing to the I-Am Immaculate Fund is the simplest way to make a philanthropic impact on the lives of IHS students. Funding from tuition income addresses only 75% of the real operating costs associated with educating a student today. Gifts to the I-AM Immaculate Fund are put to use immediately and directed to the areas where they are most urgently needed.

Please visit: www.immaculatehs.org/immaculatefund

ALUMNI SCHOLARSHIP

To assist those students whose families are experiencing unexpected financial difficulty with fulfilling their student obligations, the Immaculate High School Alumni Association funds scholarships for incoming and current students.

These scholarships are funded through gifts from IHS alumni, alumni-owned businesses, and reunion class gifts.

Please visit: www.immaculatehs.org/alumnischolarshipfund

ANGEL AID

The Angel Aid Tuition Assistance Program at Immaculate can be an answer to prayer for many families. Your gift helps families that want to provide their children with an outstanding education in a Catholic environment. Angel Aid, which is funded by generous donors like you, provides tuition assistance to current or prospective Immaculate students.

Please visit: www.immaculatehs.org/angelaid

To the Past, Present, & Future of IHS, God Bless You!

ALUMNI PRAYER Dear God, thank you for the gift of an Immaculate High School education. Bless those who helped make IHS possible for each of us, and all those who continue to support this special school.

Bless the faculty and staff with your grace as they guide students on their journey to become the best that they can be.

May your spirit inspire the minds and hearts of our current students and grant them strength to persevere through the challenges and decisions of high school life.

Help each of us to seek your presence in the routine of our everyday home and work lives. Please help us to continue to share our time and talents in service to our alma mater and to others.

Continue to bless and shine your light on this school, as you have over the last 50 years, so that future Mustangs may continue to benefit from an Immaculate High School education.
