Lisa M. Tatum '87

Overall, the modular system and the high standards set by the school were the best parts of attending Incarnate Word. It wasn't until I left for college that I realized how well-prepared I was for managing my time and responsibilities.
Andrea Maché Canchola '15

It's amazing how Incarnate Word not only prepared me for college but for life in general. And it's even helped me stand out in my professional life, especially here at Disney World. I could talk about Incarnate Word forever, and it really was the best thing that ever happened to me.
Caryn Melissa Johnson Richter '06

Incarnate Word means so much to me because it not only opened doors for my academic and personal growth, but it also instilled in me a sense of responsibility and drive to make a positive impact on others.

I had the privilege of attending Incarnate Word High School, and it was truly ahead of its time. The school taught us that as females, we could be and do anything we wanted.
Elvia M. Guajardo Danford '89

My experience at Incarnate Word High School was truly unforgettable. The sisterhood, independence, and preparation for college and beyond left a lasting impression on me… Incarnate Word became my home, and the connections with my sisters have only grown stronger over the years. Being part of the alumni board has allowed me to give back and continue the traditions and legacy of the school. Incarnate Word means home, sisterhood, and a legacy that I hope will continue for generations to come.
Estrella Linda Torres '16

I'm grateful for the sisterhood and community that was instilled in us at Incarnate Word. I still keep in touch with some of my classmates, and it's amazing to see where everyone is now. Even though we may not talk every day, we can pick up right where we left off. It's a special bond that not everyone has.
Kerian M. Fisher Troup '95

I attended Incarnate Word High School and it was a life-changing experience for me. The school helped me become more confident as a woman and a Catholic, and I had amazing teachers and mentors who truly touched my life.
Laura Nicole Williams Reyes '00

There were some special traditions at the school, like the Changing of the Chairs at the end of the year. Each class had a designated section of chairs during assemblies, and after the seniors graduated, we would all move forward to our new positions. It was always a fun and exciting event with lots of cheering, signs, and noisemakers.
Margaret Ester Cantu '02

The sense of community and the strong friendships I gained at Incarnate Word High School were special. The teachers and my fellow students were so supportive, encouraging, and inspiring. They wanted us to succeed, and I formed some incredible friendships that I still have to this day…Being in an all-girls school during that adolescent phase worked for me, and I attribute a lot of my confidence to Incarnate Word. When I went to college, I was one of the few students who felt well-prepared, and I credit that to my time at Incarnate Word.
Melina Renee Trevino '00

I made some great memories at Incarnate Word and I put my own children in private school to help them develop those foundational relationships. I highly recommend attending Incarnate Word for the college preparation alone. I've been back to the campus for a few events, and it is always nice to see how the school has grown. For someone considering attending, I would say to go for it without a second thought. The college preparation is top-notch, and it really helped me find my voice and succeed in my career.
Michelle A. Garcia '04

The best part of attending Incarnate Word was the sisterhood and the lifelong bonds that were formed. Even now, I run into fellow Incarnate Word alumni and we instantly have a connection.
Salina R. Rivera '95

I absolutely loved my time at Incarnate Word High School. The environment was so friendly and welcoming, and I made some amazing friends there. The academic system, with its open modules and one-on-one time with teachers, really helped me excel and prepared me for college.
