School History
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. Immaculate Conception School served students in K - 6 until the 2007- 2008 school year when a preschool program was added to the program. The preschool building is located at 300 Lexington and houses two 3- year old classes and two 4- year old classes. The preschool has its own playground for outside activities!
I.C. Elementary School has two classes at each grade level with an enrollment of 333 students in grades kindergarten through sixth. 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.
