This event is only for high school students. We will only run the bus if we have at least 15 students participate.
Congratulations to all #IHS graduates and alumni! Here's to many years of being a #BlueDevil 🎓💙 #ThrowbackThursday #Classof1965 #Classof2025
On this Memorial Day, we encourage our school community to take a moment of silence to honor those who gave everything for our country. Whether you’re attending a local ceremony, placing flags at a memorial, or simply reflecting, let’s come together in gratitude. 🇺🇸❤️
We enjoy our collaboration with the Independence Kiwanis Club!
Good luck Camryn, Ashley, Cam, and Freddie who are at Ashland University today for the state Power of the Pen tournament! Best wishes, Blue Devils!

Congrats to Tatiana Randjelovic who placed 7th overall at the JustWrite tournament. She is one of the best and most decorated writers on the IHS D2 competitive writing team! Also, congrats to Penny McGurr for winning a Director's Choice Award. Only six writers in the state earned this honor. Her story, "Two Birds, One Stone," will be published in the anthology, "A Collection of Voices." She is a published writer, and she is only a freshman!
Good luck to our IHS JustWrite teams as they compete in the state tournament at Ashland University today!
Advanced Placement Testing went well at IHS! There were 148 exams being administered. Of the 40 AP offerings that are available to students, our students have an opportunity to test or submit portfolios (Art) in 15 of them. For a school our size, this is a tremendous amount of variety and opportunity for our students. Having 148 tests administered speaks to our students' willingness to challenge themselves academically and prepare for their next steps in their future. Together, we are “Designing Valuable Experiences and Work!” #CultivatingALegacyOfExcellence
The first week of May, IHS had a Kiwanis and club advisor meeting. This meeting connected our local Kiwanis Club with our IHS Key Club and other service-based clubs. Having this connection will provide our school community to help the greater Independence community. While our clubs offer a lot to many organizations, being able to first focus on the City of Independence will be impactful for our community. Additionally, having our service clubs on the same page will allow for us to be targeted and strategic in our volunteering and fundraising, as our kids are spread thin to begin with. Together, we are “Creating a Welcoming and Inclusive Community Environment!” #CultivatingALegacyOfExcellence
Thank you City of Independence for partnering with our schools to remind everyone about E-bike safety. You can read more in the Mayor's Weekly Update today.
