School History

     Incarnation Catholic School was founded in 1961, and has served  the families of Incarnation Parish and Sarasota by providing quality academic education in a Catholic Christian environment.  The school opened in September 1961 and consisted of grades one through four.  In September 1962 the fifth and sixth grades were added followed by grades seven and eight the next year..  

     A library was built in 1970 and now serves as the faculty room.  Two portables were acquired in 1974 to provide more classroom space.  The Kindergarten was added in 1981.

    A major expansion project was completed in 1993.  The two portables were replaced with a permanent building which houses grades three, four, five, the computer lab and the art room.  An addition to the original building provided administrative offices, a clinic and library/media center.

     In 1995-96, the playground was redesigned and extensive equipment was added.  At that time the lunchroom was refurbished.

    Father Gerard Finegan has served as Incarnation's pastor since 1976.  Sister Monica Paul Fraser , O.P. was appointed principal in 1989.
