Immaculate Conception Catholic School was opened in 1930 under the guidance of Monsignor Patrick F. Horan. The building housed grades 1 - 8 and was primarily staffed by the religious order of the Sisters of Mercy. Many years later a kindergarten program was added to the existing classes.
St. Anne's High School closed in 1973. At that time, Immaculate Conception Parish decided to add a ninth grade to its program ensuring parish families of a Catholic education until children entered the public school setting for the senior high grades of 10 - 12.
In 1986, the three Catholic parishes of Fort Smith; Christ The King, St. Boniface, and Immaculate Conception combined their resources to form Trinity Junior High for grades 7 - 9. Since that time, Immaculate Conception School has served students in K - 6.
I.C. School has two classes at each grade level with an enrollment of approximately 350. Children are presented with a well-balanced curriculum; one that is both age appropriate and challenging. All teachers are certified in the area they teach and many have a masters of education degree.
Many changes have occurred in education and Immaculate Conception School strives to be on the cutting edge. Our goal is to combine the tried and the true with new and innovative techniques. Immaculate Conception School is known throughout Forth Smith and the surrounding communities as a premiere educational institution.
