As part of our celebration of Women’s History Month in March 2025, Immaculate Heart Academy is recognizing a group of impressive students in a lobby display entitled "Women of Valor Among Us: IHA Women Making History Today.” 

IHA is proud to celebrate thirteen students who continuously use their unique gifts and talents to make history during their time at The Heart. Each featured student is displayed on a poster highlighting their special characteristics and achievements.

These young women will be honored throughout the month of March and were celebrated at a special reception with their families on March 13, 2025. Thank you to each of these students who continue to strengthen their Catholic values and grow into empowered, confident young women prepared to embrace the world beyond Immaculate Heart.
