Independence High School is a multi-campus high school community, which embraces teaching and learning in a small, caring environment. We maintain rigorous academic standards and offer a multicultural interdisciplinary curriculum with the infusion of the arts and technology. We maintain strong collaborative ties with our local business community and elected City officials. Through enhanced guidance services, an advisor works with each student and parent to achieve academic goals and set post-secondary plans. Senior internships prepare the students for post-graduate opportunities. We strive every day to fulfill our mission by:
· Instilling a strong appreciation of learning through modeled and differentiated instruction, for both personal enjoyment and professional development
· Ensuring that our school-wide instructional framework of comprehension skills and strategies are reinforced through our daily interaction with our students
· Collaborating with students, parents and our community partners to foster wonder and curiosity, and to instill a mature sense of social responsibility; and
· Encouraging the celebration of diversity and tolerance for all people and cultures.
