- Changes in the athletic program
Under our new athletic director, David Hanna, we have started to see many changes to the athletic program at IHS. Traditionally, teachers and coaches have clashed over after-school practices and missing classes for games. However, Hanna emphasized both academic and athletic achievement. At a recent board meeting, Hanna described his new plans to bring about this standard of excellence in collaboration with guidance counselor and cross-country coach Rich Bernstein. He outlined a system of study halls exclusively for athletes and using “practice tickets” as passes for athletes, working with teachers after school to attend practices.
- The Golden Carrot award
Recently, ICSD was awarded a Golden Carrot award, a national award for school lunches. The school district has been recognized in its efforts to integrate wholesome, local food into students’ lunch and promote healthier eating habits.
