Our History and Mission

St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception School has existed continuously since 1845. The older portion of the school celebrated its 120th anniversary in November 2005. Our pastoral mission began with a small group of immigrant German Catholic farmers.  Today, we need to continue the vision and the generous spirit demonstrated from our founding members. It is an awesome fact that they built the first multi-room schoolhouse in the town. They also valued the mission of the school so much that they built the brick schoolhouse eight years before the brick church building.

Although we are proud of our long history, we are not sitting back idly. Continuous school improvement plans are active to strengthen our curriculum, our teaching methods and our ways of assessing student learning. Plans for a new multi-purpose parish center/gymnasium were presented to the parish in June 2007. Groundbreaking took place in September of 2009 and was completed last Fall 2010.  We are truly committed to the Building for a Brighter Tomorrow Campaign.
