"Catholic Schools: Communities of Faith, Knowledge and Service" was the theme for National Catholic Schools Week 2016 and the students, faculty and staff of ICS observed this annual celebration week with Masses, open houses and a variety of activities for students, school families, parishioners and community members. The week concluded with a luncheon for Grandparents and Special Friends, followed by a special movie theatre fundraising event. Leading in Faith, ICS Student Council members collaborated, designed and implemented the event.
