Become a Knight!

Through our college preparatory curriculum, we encourage students to achieve their maximum potential and exemplify the Catholic values taught at IC Catholic Prep.

How You’ll Learn

The ICCP Experience will prepare you for college and beyond. You’ll quickly discover that our faculty, staff, moderators and coaches are dedicated to being professional mentors. They’ll take the time to get to know you – your interests, goals, and ambitions – and keep you on the right path.

How You’ll Grow

The ICCP Experience will help you grow in faith. ICCP is a Catholic school that promotes spiritual growth and the development of a relationship with Christ and the Church. At ICCP, you’ll deepen your faith through monthly school liturgies, class retreats, service projects and more. You will find that you continue to make a difference in the lives of others even after you graduate. Serving others will become a natural extension of your personal and professional life.

How You’ll Succeed

You’ll make a difference because you’ve been inspired to think as independent young men and women and encouraged to open your spirit, mind and body to new concepts and ideas.

As a Knight, you will:

  • Experience how high school should be.
  • Reach your potential, and then some.
  • Surprise yourself by trying classes or extracurriculars outside your comfort zone.
  • Succeed at more than just academics. You will develop character, selflessness, and confidence.

Michael’s parents, Edward and Marylin, strongly encouraged and believed in the principles of a Catholic secondary education.

Michael enjoyed being part of the IC band and the golf team, continuing his association with golf by caddying during the summers. In the classrooms, Michael took several science classes, the beginning of the focal point of his life’s work. His love of biology and chemistry grew as he attended Illinois Benedictine College (IBC) in Lisle, IL. After graduating from IBC in 1978, he worked as a medical technologist and soon found he had a thirst for even more knowledge. Michael went on to receive his PhD in Biochemistry from Loyola and spent many years teaching and pursuing and publishing his research.

Early in 2004, Michael was offered the opportunity to direct and expand the research program in the Department of Clinical Laboratory Sciences at the University of South Alabama (USA) in Mobile. He began teaching at the USA and laid plans to expand their research efforts by obtaining grant money for new equipment. He repaired old lab equipment so the students had proper facilities and launched work on a new curriculum that would expand the students’ opportunities. Plans included building a completely new research building to give USA a new core program. Before he had the opportunity to realize all his goals, Michael passed away suddenly in January of 2005.

A $1,000 scholarship will be awarded each year to an ICCP student who exemplifies Michael’s spirit and enthusiasm for science, and who meets the following criteria:

  1. Current junior at IC Catholic Prep enrolled in a third year of science and will be enrolled in a fourth year of science in the next academic year

SCRIP TUITION REDUCTION PROGRAM

The Scrip Tuition Reduction Program is a tuition reduction program that works while you shop! Scrip is simply a word that means “substitute money” – in other words, gift certificates from national and local retailers. They’re the same gift certificates that you buy at the store. Many popular retailers participate in our scrip program including Kohls, Land’s End, The Gap, Target, Shell, Jewel, Marianos, Mike’s Meat Market, Elmhurst City Centre, and many more. You’re probably asking yourself how will these stores help reduce my tuition costs? It’s simple — scrip participating retailers agree to sell gift certificates to our organization at a discount. Member families buy the certificates for full face value, they redeem them for full face value, and our program credits the difference to your tuition. Tuition credits are issued 4 times a year in October, January, March, and June for families that pay their tuition monthly and in June for families paying tuition at the beginning of the school year. You may also choose to have your credits given to another family or to the ICCP General Scholarship Fund. Learn More About Scrip.
