History
Immaculate Conception Academy, Inc., Dasmariñas, Cavite was first organized in October 1947. It opened its first class on June 1948 to 67 1st year and 2nd year high school students. The first classroom was the church convent of the Immaculate Conception Parish Church. Later, the school acquired a vacant lot beside the church and built its first two- story building thereon in 1956. In 1979 a two- hectare lot in Ibayo was acquired and a building was built to facilitate the Industrial Arts and Physical Education classes. This also the Vocational site.
A one story building was also rented near the plaza, which is used for the school office, canteen and one room, but it was eventually demolished. For that matter, the school decided to make a third, fourth and fifth floor in the original ICA building, which is now the ICA-SHS. In June 1992, ICA preschool was created following a Montessori system of teaching. Its location is at Pasong Lawin, Dasmarinas, Cavite. Today, ICA has four campuses in Dasmariñas, ICA North in Salitran, ICA West in Amuntay Road, ICA South in Governor's Drive and ICA Science in Poblacion. ICA is a member of the NCAA. The EAC-ICA Brigadiers, the junior team of EAC Generals.
Aside from participating in different ball games and leagues, ICA also has their ultimate pride, the ICA AllStars Cheering Squad. This team recently bagged 5th Best Team and Most Intensive Routine for HS Coed Cheer Division and National Champions for HS Girls Cheer Division during the National Cheerleading Championships held at Ynares Sports Arena last March 5, 2011. ICA AllStars is the 1st non-NCR HS team to be national champions. This team earned different awards and championships in their hometown leagues.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“To summarize the contentions of this paper then. Firstly, the phrase ‘the meaning of a word’ is a spurious phrase. Secondly and consequently, a re-examination is needed of phrases like the two which I discuss, ‘being a part of the meaning of’ and ‘having the same meaning.’ On these matters, dogmatists require prodding: although history indeed suggests that it may sometimes be better to let sleeping dogmatists lie.”
—J.L. (John Langshaw)
“The only thing worse than a liar is a liar that’s also a hypocrite!
There are only two great currents in the history of mankind: the baseness which makes conservatives and the envy which makes revolutionaries.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
“The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
