46 IMMACULATA STUDENTS EARN A.P. SCHOLAR HONORS | |
Students at Immaculata High School marked an academic milestone, taking a five-year record number of 321 Advanced Placement exams, a stark contrast to the nationwide decline in academic performance since the pandemic-caused learning setbacks.
The parochial Catholic high school in Somerville, which offers 22 A.P. courses, administered the exams in the spring of 2023 and, as a result, received a 100 percent passing rate in eight course exams, with 46 students earning A.P. Scholar Awards.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR KETTLE CORN STAND AUG. 9-11 | |
With a rich history connected to the local community, the 4-H Fair has become an annual cornerstone of Somerset County. Drawing in a diverse and ever-growing attendance, the Fair has created a strong foundation for 4-H youth to showcase their leadership, community, teamwork, and most importantly, their 4-H spirit.
Once again, this year, Immaculata High School will partner with the Church of the Immaculate Conception and Immaculate Conception School to serve and sell kettle corn at the Somerset County 4-H Fair from Aug. 9-11. Proceeds from the sales will directly benefit the church and its schools.
