CRANSTON, R.I. -- Students will gather at 8:30 a.m. Monday for Mass at the new Immaculate Conception Catholic Regional School. When the school opens its doors to students today, it will be the first time in more than 40 years that a Catholic school has opened in Rhode Island. The school, located at 235 Garden Hills Drive in Cranston, stands next to the Immaculate Conception Church in the city's Garden Hills neighborhood. The school will replace the nearly 50-year-old Cranston-Johnston Catholic Regional School. Following the celebratory Mass, the students will tour their new school for the first time, escorted by the Rev. Ronald E. Brassard.

I remember going to St Thomas School on Elmdale Rd next to St. Thomas's Church on fruit hill Ave in Providence,RI,even thought i lived in Johnston,I wish i never would oh had to go there,for i feel i lost a lot of learning,cause all the mean nuns cared to teach was penmanship,cathesium,english. they never stressed on math or having parties lik eother schools did,plus w edidn't have science till i think 7th grade and i think i missed out on a lot of enjoyment,going to catholic school,never even learned foreign language. Like the french catholic school on other part of Providence,where some of my friends went,can't remember name of school. It was a stupid reason why my father made me go to catholic school,cause at time there was black kids in public school and he was very racist,not like me.I was not like that i liked everyone until proven wrong.
