Hats, head scarves, ties, sunglasses, caps, or bandanas The purpose of the athletic program at IHHS is to provide an opportunity for all students to learn the self-discipline, skills and sportsmanship that are derived from participation on athletic teams. These opportunities range from intramural class competitions to the more rigorous competitive games among schools in the Sunshine League. The program at IHHS abides by all standing California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) rules and regulations, as well as those set forth by the Catholic Athletic Association (C.A.A.). As members of any school team, athletes are to act at all times in a manner that demonstrates good sportsmanship. Failure to do so may result in dismissal from the team. IH fields CIF varsity teams in volleyball, basketball, soccer, softball, swimming, diving, cross-country and track. The school has junior varsity teams in volleyball, basketball, cross-country and swimming, as well as a freshman team in volleyball. IH is also a member of the Interscholastic Equestrian League with competition in the varsity and junior varsity division. GENERAL ELIGIBILITY Any student enrolled at IH is eligible for participation in the athletic program unless she has (a) transferred from another high school, (b) lost her amateur standing or (c) come from a foreign country. If (a), (b) or (c) apply, the student must take certain steps to become eligible for participation on Immaculate Heart C.I.F. teams. Further eligibility requirements are listed in the C.I.F. guidelines. Athletic competition requires commitment and dedication; therefore, athletes are expected to fulfill their responsibilities to the team while still maintaining academic priorities. Team members are required to have a minimum 2.0 G.P.A. and no failing grades on any quarter or semester report card. Evaluation of a student’s eligibility will be made by the athletic director and academic counselor. Prior to participating on a team, a student must submit the following: 1. a transportation permission form 2 an athletic emergency form 3. a physician’s report form PHYSICAL EXAMINATION Before a student may participate in any interscholastic competition, she must provide evidence of having received a physical examination by a physician and must be judged by that physician to be physically able to participate in competitive sports. A physical exam is required of athletics for each year of competition to satisfy C.I.F. and IHHS requirements. DISMISSAL FROM TEAM An athlete may be dismissed from a team for behavior or attitudes contrary to the spirit of athletics and competition at IHHS. ♥ 36 37 ♥

IMMACULATE HEART DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM Like all private schools that wish to provide an excellent academic program with state-of-the-art resources and facilities, while keeping a competent, dedicated faculty, Immaculate Heart maintains a development office whose primary purpose is to solicit funds over and above the tuition and fees, in order to help defray the expenses such programs and facilities require. Tuition and fees alone cannot build buildings or endow scholarships. The development office continually seeks major funds from foundations and corporations, and from generous parents, alumnae and friends. Contributions to Immaculate Heart can be made in the following ways: (a) restricted or unrestricted gifts or bequests which allow the school to use the gift immediately to meet specific or general financial needs; and (b) restricted or unrestricted endowment gifts or bequests which are put in a permanent fund from which only the interest may be used. A contribution can be given in honor of or in memory of a specific person. Some of the programs coordinated by the development office are: Parent Pledge Program: All parents are asked each year to contribute over and above tuition, and to be as generous as they can be. Most parents pledge at least $500 a year. All parents are expected to pledge some amount. Annual Giving: All alumnae, past parents and friends are asked to give a monetary gift to the school once a year. 10 K WALK: This event, sponsored primarily by the student council, is a popular activity entered into by all students as their share in the overall effort of supporting the school. e-scrip Program: Alumnae, parents and friends support the school by registering their credit cards by calling (800) 592-0942 or www.escrip.com. IMMACULATE HEART PARENT ASSOCIATION All parents of Immaculate Heart students are members of the Parent Council and are encouraged to attend the regularly scheduled meetings listed in the school’s calendar. In addition to raising funds for the school and providing social opportunities for parents and their daughters, the organization, through its meetings, is an effective forum for communication and dialog between parents and the administration. The activities annually sponsored by the Parent Council are: the Father/Daughter Picnic, the Mother/Daughter Luncheon, Parenting Information Evenings, the Spring Raffle, the Used Uniform Sale, faculty appreciation luncheons and hospitality for all major events throughout the year. Co-Presidents: Roxane and John Cornelius IMMACULATE HEART ALUMNAE PROGRAM Immaculate Heart has an active Alumnae Association Board, and the alumnae office of the school assists this board in its activities which include: The Annual Reunion This is a major alumnae event held on the first Sunday of May on the campus of Immaculate Heart. All alumnae are invited back to participate in a liturgy, brunch or high tea and to meet with other members of their classes. Class Reunions Generally at the time of the annual reunion, each five-year celebrating class is invited by the alumnae board to come together for special festivities. These classes often plan luncheons, dinners or other types of get-togethers. Career Days Alumnae return to the campus to share their career experiences with current students. Senior Class Dinner On the evening before graduation, the alumnae board hosts a dinner for the seniors to welcome them to the alumnae association. 39 ♥
