IMMACULATE’S COMMITMENT TO THE FUTURE MOVES FULL STEAM AHEAD
echnology is an integral part of the learning that takes place at Immaculate. Our competitive Science, Technology Engineering, Arts and Mathematics programs introduce challenging realworld problems, foster student inquiry and encourage student creativity and problem-solving.
offers more than 12 math classes including advanced algebra, geometry, trigonometry and calculus. For the past two years, Immaculate High School has had several students achieve perfect scores on the math portion of the SATs.
Engineering classes were added to the program two years ago, taught by math teacher and engineer Jeanine Antonios. She advised the Brave Engineers club, which in its first two years won the State Real World Design Challenge twice and placed third this year in the National Real World Design Challenge. With interest growing in the engineering fields, Immaculate added a new course for the 2020-21 school year, Civil Engineering and Architecture Honors, the third-level course complementing Introduction to Engineering and Principles of Engineering. Computer science is another important area that Immaculate emphasizes. Students take Microsoft Suite and then can choose from courses such as Computer Science, IT Essentials and Introduction to Networks. Interested students can work towards CompTIA A+ certification. This certification validates understanding of the most common hardware and software technologies in business and certifies the skills necessary to support complex IT infrastructures, and it is a powerful credential that helps IT professionals worldwide ignite their IT career as it is globally recognized and accredited. A club advised by Immaculate’s IT Director Dave Cirella, the CyberPatriots. placed first in the Platinum Division in the Connecticut Regional National Youth Cyber Defense Competition sponsored by the National Cyber Education Program. This is the fourth time that the team won the State competition, having won the State title in 2015, 2016 and 2017. Immaculate High School provides a progressive Math Program that shows enhanced student results in many ways. For example, IHS students scored more than 100 points higher in the math portion of the SAT than the average school score in Connecticut.
