Wyatt Ranches, on behalf of The Wyatt Foundation, donated $15,000.00 to the Immaculate Conception School (ICS) in Rio Grande City, Starr County, Texas. The funds will be used to supplement budgetary shortfalls which occurred after ICS lost tuition funds when several students that generally would attend school there, instead opted to attend the tuition-free IDEA school. ICS is a private school that has been in existence since 1884 when
the vision of three Catholic woman became a reality. The Sisters of the Incarnate Word of San Antonio administered the school between 1884 and 1898. Eventually, the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament of Brownsville managed the school beginning in 1900. At this point, students from Mexico began to enroll and classes were given in both the English and Spanish language. 1920-1923 saw many changes in the small town of Rio Grande City
including the arrival of the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament and later, the Sisters of Mercy and classes were expanded to accommodate students in the upper grades. The 40’s, 50’s and 60’s reflected higher enrollment and lay teachers were hired to augment the faculty which up to that point generally consisted of Catholic sisters. In 1961, the enrollment was up to 405 students. The principles of the school embody the Seven Themes of ICS, page 2
