Welcome to Homecoming Weekend - Don't Miss our New Video

Watch our 2023-24 back to school video here:

Happy Friday and welcome to our Homecoming Weekend!  Hopefully Blue Devils of years past, present, and future are all able to connect and celebrate our great school community.  I’m especially excited to see everyone at tonight’s Homecoming Tailgate, hosted by our PTOs.  Seeing our alumni, our families, our students all together is really special.  And don’t forget to cheer us on the football field, while being entertained and rallied by our marching band and cheerleaders.

I want to acknowledge the great start to our 2023-24 school year we’ve enjoyed!  It has made me so excited to see the energy, passion, hard work, and joy from our teachers, our support staff, our coaches, and most importantly, our students.  

When our students come to school, we believe it is essential to care for them, to engage them in great learning opportunities, to help prepare them to launch into their futures, and for them to have fun and enjoy school.  The entire student experience is very important.  We wanted to capture some of those moments and share them with our entire community.  I am pleased to share with you our 2023-24 Opening Video.  Take a few minutes, turn up the volume a bit, and enjoy this sample of what it feels like to be an Independence Blue Devil!
