Welcome to Independence Local Schools!
Independence Local Schools consists of a primary, middle, and high school and has dedicated and experienced faculty and support staff. With more than 1,000 enrolled students, it serves the approximately 7,100 residents of the Independence, a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio. I am excited to serve the Independence Local Schools as superintendent and promise to continue our tradition of academic excellence and I-Pride. Our community—the students, families, and staff are top notch. While this is a challenging time for public education, with any challenge comes the opportunity to excel. I have no doubt that we're up to the challenge and I look forward to collaborating with our leadership team and staff.
Please join our I-Pride Family, and become involved in the programs and services that we offer our students. Don’t hesitate to attend a game, activity or event, and witness the excitement our students have in being a part of our I-Pride Team. Please continue to visit our district webpage for the posting of events and activities, as we would love to see you at a game or event.
Please be extremely careful as you enter the school campus areas, as we pride ourselves on maintaining a safe and secure environment for our children.
Sincerely,
Benjamin Hegedish
