Immaculate Heart Middle School

The story goes that The Sister of Immaculate Heart were so outspoken, that The Pope disbanded them in the 60’s. Not sure if that’s true or not. I, however, did get detention for a week for coming as Agnes of God (you know, cheap costumey nun’s habit, big tin-​foil cross, pregnant) for Halloween one year. Not keen on that one, the sisters…
Despite the run in, I really enjoyed my time here. I went to the High School, too, so I spent 6 of my most formative years at this institution.
It was great to have no boys in class, having all girl leadership and sports. We shipped in boys, for the theater productions and dances, of course, but only when we needed them. Hmmm, I wonder if that’s why I didn’t marry until I was 37…
My teachers were fabulous, most especially Ms. Hill, Ms. Ponnet, Mr. Schafter and Mr. Vliet. We had to take mandatory religion classes, but weren’t required to go to the liturgies.
I (eventually) made some good friends, too. I wonder where Celeste Chong and Eve Wood are, these days? Most likely doing more creative (or financially successful) things than I, I’m sure…
