Immaculate Conception High School is a Roman Catholic coeducational college preparatory high school located in Montclair, in Essex County, New Jersey, United States. Immaculate was founded in 1925 as a parish school. The school operates under the supervision of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Newark. It shares its campus with the public middle school, Renaissance. Per its mission statement, the school "strives, within the context of family to develop the whole person: morally, intellectually, emotionally, and physically. Recognizing the work and uniqueness of each individual" Immaculate Conception High School was established in 1925 under the guidance of its founder, Rev. Edward M. Farrel. The Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth began their connection to the school with the appointment of Mother Mary Alexandrine as the school's first principal.
