The primary function of elementary athletics is not the development of exceptional athletes, but the development of student-athletes who genuinely display the Christian qualities of good sportsmanship and fair play in every aspect of life. The successful operation of this style of athletics is dependent upon a true commitment from all adults involved.

At IHM, we are proud of the variety of sports we offer, the parental support, the quality of our volunteer coaches, and the sportsmanship our students display on and off the field.

IHM Virtue in Sports Program

Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic School is well known in the diocese of Grand Rapids for its strong athletics program. From the caliber of our student athletes, to the dedication of our coaches and parents, and to the quality of our facilities, we are uniquely blessed to offer such a distinct program. But our athletics program is rooted in more than competition and success on the playing field. We believe in developing greatness through virtue.

“At IHM, we believe that our athletes are made for the greatness that God has in mind uniquely for them, and that the pathway to achieving that potential comes through the development of virtue.”
