Career Day

The IGHMS 8th Grade Career day is coming soon. We are planning it for February 17th from approximately 7:30am until 9:30am. We are looking for members of our community who would be willing to join us in educating our students about all of the career options available. You will be asked to give a 20 minute presentation to 3-4 different groups of 8th grade students about your career. Your presence is a great example of the partnership that schools and communities can share; and will assist our students in making better, more informed choices in school and in life after school. 

For more information or if you are interested in joining us on this day, please email [email protected]. In advance, thank you for your consideration!

An Important Reminder for all students & parents…

All students must be accompanied by an adult in order to attend any home athletic events. This includes all middle school events as well as any high school events including the varsity football games. We will turn students away at the door if they are not with an adult. Please know that a parent cannot just drop a student off for the night. They must buy a ticket and be in attendance during the event.
