  IHA we salute thee majestic and true
  Fondly we greet thee your ideals pursue
  You taught us in learning in wisdom in truth
  Things we remember from days of our youth
  When times will have passed and cares may o'ertake us
  Then all that you stand for will never forsake us
  There's none on this earth with you can compare
  For you gave us a mem'ry faithful and fair.
  So, lift up your voices so joyous and light
  Let us all honor the blue and the white
  We pledge thee allegiance until the end
  And promise forever your name to defend
  Let us go forward with courage to do
  All that is noble and loyal and true
  Long may your honor live on in our time
  Alma Mater, O lead us to vict'ry sublime, to vict'ry sublime.

• 12:37 2017 Commencement Address by Elizabeth Higgins Clark'02

  We were honored to welcome back Elizabeth Higgins Clark, IHA Class of 2002, as our 2017 Commencement Speaker. Elizabeth’s association with Immaculate Heart Academy began well before she was a student here. Her mother, author, Mary Jane Behrends Clark, graduated in 1972, while her aunts, The Honorable Marilyn Clark’68, Carol Higgins Clark’74, Margaret Behrends’75, and Patricia Clark’76, were also IHA graduates. Elizabeth’s great aunt, the late June Clark, is a former IHA faculty member, and her grandmother is renowned author, Mary Higgins Clark, a longtime supporter of our school after whom our Writing Center is named. While a student at IHA, Elizabeth was a member of the Forensics Club, ITS, CARE, Communication Club, and Mock Trial. She was also a member of the Student Council and played on the IHA Softball team.
  
  After graduating from IHA, Elizabeth attended Providence College where she received a B.A. degree in English literature and minored in women’s studies. She is an actor who has appeared on shows such as “The Mindy Project” and “Criminal Minds” and on stage at The Williamstown Theatre Festival and La MaMa E.T.C. Elizabeth has written for Maria Shriver’s website and The Huffington Post, with her article about the “R word” making the front page of the entire blog. At fundraisers and genetics counseling facilities, Elizabeth has spoken about her brother, David, who suffers from Fragile X Syndrome. She recently wrote her first play, FRACTURED, which led Rolling Stone critic Peter Travers to call her “lavishly talented.” But her message to the Class of 2017 was not about her success or the careers they may pursue after college. Instead, her focus was simply on the significance of kindness.
  
  “Your greatest power lies in the one thing you are in total control of for the balance of your life,” Elizabeth proclaimed to the graduates, “and that is how you choose to treat the people you encounter as you live.” She reiterated that there is no greater legacy than treating people well. “Kindness may not make you rich or win you awards, but its ripples will reach others in ways you can’t even imagine. It’s what the people who actually know you will remember most.”
  
  Elizabeth concluded by telling the Class of 2017 that she’s confident they will work hard and achieve. “I have no doubt you’re going to do well,” she said. “But because you’re IHA girls, I also have faith that you’ll take the time to do good.”

• 25:10 IHA's Costa Rica Documentary

  During Easter Break 2014, twelve students from Mrs. Stephanie Brodeur's documentary field production class were lucky enough to travel to Costa Rica! The goal of the trip was to teach students about field production by shooting a documentary on Costa Rica's plans to become the first carbon neutral nation in the world.
  
  Before the trip, students did a large amount of research, wrote questions to ask, and studied the country, politics, and economy. While in Costa Rica, the students visited San Jose, Tortuguero, Monteverde, and Arenal. The group spoke to many people including conservationists, national park guards, recycling plant operators, tourists, business owners, and guides.
  Although they worked hard, the students had time to enjoy the incredible wildlife and experience close encounters with monkeys, lizards, reptiles, sloths, birds, and really large insects.
  
  Mrs. Stephanie Brodeur said that highlights of the trip included the “Sky Trek Zipline that took our group above the cloud forest canopy, and actually right into the clouds!” and “the fully sustainable organic farm tour led by former math teacher, Don Juan, who demonstrated the usefulness of geometry in organic farming.”
  
  IHA students were able to challenge themselves and do things and go to places they never thought they could!
