that Last a Lifetime - Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic School
Creating Smiles that Last a Lifetime Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic School Faith • Knowledge • Service • Integrity 2012-2013 Annual Report “The teachers are amazing and every student is recognized as unique and special. There is a strong focus on academics, but the kids have tons of fun as well.” Dear Members of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Family, third in the divisional round. They were the only Catholic school represented in the state of Georgia. I am a strong supporter of Catholic Schools and a firm believer in their value and importance. And I am proud to be the pastor of a community where the school is such an integral part of so many lives. Few choices in life are more important than deciding where to send your children to school. All parents want to give their children the benefit of an excellent education. For Catholic parents, a school education is only the beginning. You also want your children to learn the values that will influence them for their entire life. That kind of faith-based education takes place every day at our school. Our community has been richly blessed with families, faculty, and staff who recognize the importance of Catholic education and who give so generously of themselves to its mission. The end result is a parish school where our children thrive in a Christ-centered environment. Last year three recent IHM alumni chose their alma mater as the recipient of their Eagle Scout project, building both gardening beds and butterfly gardens to be enjoyed by all. Thanks to their efforts, our new gardening program is helping our first graders learn about the abundance of God’s creation. Our students continue to thrive both academically and spiritually under the guidance of our faculty and staff. Led by Religion Teacher Kathleen Pyrce, four of our middle school students had the distinction of sweeping the Catholic Campaign for Human Development’s Multi-Media Youth Contest here in Atlanta, and current eighth grader Annie Martin, who secured first place locally, went on to win Honorable Mention in the national contest. Our Middle School Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl team, just two years old, took first place in both county and regionals and went on to place In Christ, Faith • Knowledge Dear Friends of IHM, IHM is a school built on high standards accompanied by high expectations. The programs and teachers at IHM challenge students to give their best and they rise to the challenge. Our graduates consistently perform at “A” and “B” achievement levels during high school and most are on the honor roll. At IHM we prepare young Catholic men and women to cope with a continually changing world through academic and spiritual training that encourages them to be positive, productive Christians who serve society. The economic support we receive from our parents and greater community is critical to our success. A striking example is the community’s response to this year’s Annual Fund. Not only did we surpass our goal by over 40%, we also achieved 100% financial participation from our families, a first in IHM School history! This level of commitment speaks volumes to the greater community and demonstrates our parents’ belief that IHM School is an excellent investment. This year in particular I am amazed and edified by the gracious outpouring of support that can clearly be seen in this Annual Report. The 2012-2013 school year was marked by the generosity of our parents, faculty, staff, parishioners, grandparents and friends who supported the Annual Fund, GRACE Scholars, the Endowment Fund, Tuition Assistance and the activities of the Home & School Association. We reached a significant milestone this year with 100% of our parents, faculty and staff contributing to the Annual Fund. I am pleased to present this Annual Report to you. May our Lord continue to bless Immaculate Heart of Mary School and our entire community. May Mary, our Mother, watch over us and intercede for us. Monsignor James A. Schillinger, S.T.L. Pastor • S e r v ic e • Integrity This past year we made great strides in technology and infrastructure as well. Our seventh grade students began using iPads and our sixth graders are being introduced to them for the 2013-14 school year. We finished the third and final phase of the heating and cooling project, regulating our classrooms for maximum comfort; and thanks to the Home and School Association’s auction we erected a carpool canopy early last fall. Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic School continues to be a superb learning environment because of the participation and commitment of all involved. We are grateful for the support you provide, allowing us to deliver the best education possible to the children of IHM. Thank you for all you do. God bless, James P.

The program is funded by Georgia taxpayers who redirect part of their Georgia State income tax to a student scholarship organization such as GRACE.

The families and friends listed below designated scholarship aid to IHM School totaling $131,967 in calendar year 2012 and $136,249 through June 30, 2013.

Accreditations IHM School has dual accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) and the Southern Association of Independent Schools (SAIS). National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence 2855 Briarcliff Road NE Atlanta GA 30329 404-636-4488 www.ihmschool.org Gifts to Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic School provide the essential means to carry out our mission and to continually expand and strengthen the quality of services we provide to our children, families, faculty and staff. They also provide a taxdeductible contribution for the donor. Contributing to the Annual Fund Unrestricted gifts to the Annual Fund are critical to meeting the school’s most immediate needs, while providing a tax benefit to the donor. Contributing to the IHM School Endowment Fund The Endowment Fund enables IHM School to secure a strong future as we face the challenges of continuing to provide an excellent and affordable Catholic education to students. A gift to the endowment will have an everlasting impact on our school as only the interest income is used, leaving the corpus intact to continue to grow our future. The primary goals are to provide need-based scholarships, financial aid, and resources for continuing education programs and advanced degrees for teachers. Providing Tuition Assistance and Scholarships Members of our community are encouraged to donate to GRACE Scholars, Tuition Assistance Fund, Edward Barnsley ’86 Memorial Scholarship Fund, and the Memorial Scholarship Fund. Each of these funds provides a means for helping families with financial need pay their tuition. The Immaculate Heart Society The Immaculate Heart Society recognizes benefactors who remember IHM School in their wills and estate plans by making a specific bequest to the school.
