Welcome to Incarnate Word Parish School! Our school is one of many vibrant ministries reflecting the dynamic life and spirit of the Incarnate Word Parish community. We invite you to visit and see the wonderful things happening here.

As a learning community, we strive to provide students with a faith-filled, strong academic preparation experience. Just like our great parish, the foundation of our school is rooted in community and family. Every day our students are nourished by our Catholic faith and invited to share their faith through retreat experiences, Mass two times each week, and God-centered social justice teachings combined with service opportunities. Strengthened by knowledge, our students are encouraged to reach for personal excellence in everything they do. Incarnate Word students perform well above the national averages on standardized testing. Our faculty provide learning experiences that educate students with academic rigor, passion, and creativity. Through loving, believing, understanding, and achieving, our students become leaders who can effectively provide meaningful service to all God’s family, now and in the future. Our students are developing leadership skills and displaying these while serving as school ambassadors, student council members, and prayer partners.

When you visit, observe our Grades 3-8 students utilize Chromebooks in a 1:1 setting with access to the world, feel our joy as we illustrate Inclusion Education at its finest, and know that our students are being prepared as the future leaders of our Church and our country!
