  • The Annual Reunion

    Thanks to all alumnae for a fabulous time at our '25 reunion celebrating classes ending in '0 and '5. We look forward to seeing you again next year!

    The annual Reunion is one of our most cherished alumnae events at Immaculate Heart, traditionally held on the first Sunday of May on campus. It’s a time when alumnae are warmly welcomed back to participate in a special program, followed by a luncheon where they can reconnect, reminisce, and celebrate with their classmates.

    While Reunion weekend honors cherished memories, it also plays a vital role in shaping the future of our school by providing significant scholarship support for our current and future Pandas. Reunion Class Gifts are a cornerstone of our financial aid program, with last year’s celebrating classes raising nearly $100,000. These funds are critical to ensuring that our school remains accessible to all young women in Los Angeles, especially in today’s ever-changing financial climate.

    In this time of need, we invite you to reflect on the impact your time at Immaculate Heart had on your life and consider making a meaningful gift today to support our Financial Aid Program. Every contribution helps create opportunities for the next generation of Pandas.

In Memoriam

With deep sorrow, we share news of the passing of beloved longtime English teacher Terry van Vliet. His passion for literature and unwavering dedication to his students left an indelible mark on generations of Immaculate Heart alumnae.

Many will remember the warmth of his voice as he read Oscar Wilde’s The Selfish Giant, a treasured tradition at our Christmas program and a heartfelt moment at the 2020 Reunion. His love of storytelling and learning enriched our community and will continue to inspire us. Listen to the reading here.

A Catholic, independent college preparatory school for girls in grades 6 through 12, Immaculate Heart has been located on a beautiful hillside property in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles since our founding by the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in 1906. We celebrate more than a century of nurturing the spiritual, intellectual, social and moral development of students as they distinguish themselves as women of great heart and right conscience.
