Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish and School has been celebrating the liturgy and educating students since the founding of the City of Everett in 1891. As the population of Everett grew another church was needed and in 1904, Immaculate Conception opened its doors in service to its downtown neighbors. Just two decades later, the cornerstone of Immaculate Conception School was mortared into place.
Our Lady of Perpetual Help and Immaculate Conception Schools have provided over a century of service to the surrounding community. Thousands of children have filled our classrooms, leaving behind irreplaceable memories and relationships that have endured the test of time.
Our students have grown and many that remained in the community enrolled their children and then came their children's children...even now third and fourth generations walk the familiar halls and continue the rich tradition started so long ago.
In 1991, Our Lady of Perpetual Help celebrated its Centennial. Through the efforts of the centennial committee, a yearlong celebration took place. The activities of this year not only commemorated the past, but also looked toward the future. The organization of the church would change dramatically in 1994, as Our Lady of Perpetual Help and Immaculate Conception Parishes became one pastoral unit.
Two parishes with deep roots and rich traditions in Everett - Our Lady of Perpetual Help in east Everett and Immaculate Conception in downtown Everett combined their support behind what has become Immaculate Conception & Our Lady of Perpetual Help School. Remarkably, after all these years, both school sites remain active in caring for and educating the youth of Everett and its surrounding communities.
From the beginning there have been remarkable and committed priests, nuns, lay teachers, parents, volunteers and caregivers who have been exemplary custodians of these schools and the children that are charged to their care.
The students of Immaculate Conception and Our Lady of Perpetual Help School have gone forth into their communities practicing their faith and carrying on a love for learning and for their fellow travelers on this earth.
The school continues to offer an outstanding education devoted to academic excellence, striving to foster spiritual growth of all students, and challenging our students to go forth as Christian leaders to respond to the needs of our larger community.
