Independence High School is specifically designed for students who have difficulties in the regular high school setting. Students who attend have been referred from their home high schools by administrators who know they need a different type of learning environment in order to succeed.
IHS seeks to provide an individualized, academically challenging program for all students, which will emphasize the development of personal responsibility and promote positive growth in academics, attitudes, interpersonal relationships and values necessary in becoming productive citizens.
