Overview
We believe that strong futures start with strong foundations, and we are passionate about building them. Combining Catholic values with community, leadership, reverence and service, our athletic program lays a foundation that serves students far beyond their time at IHM. Our sport and game offerings aim to promote a healthy lifestyle, teach essential teamwork, leadership, and goal-setting skills, encourage self-discipline, and develop a sense of humility and joy in both victory and defeat. As students learn to cope with adversity and disappointment outside the classroom walls – and learn to appreciate the gifts of others along the way – we pray it reinforces the values of determination and teamwork in every sphere of life.
