Principal's Notes
News and reflections from International High School.
Today we saw our first IB seniors officially on summer break! They came by the high school office, and seeing the joy that comes from their sense of accomplishment was as it is every year, a beautiful thing.
Yesterday was the last day for your IB seniors and the first senior prank at International in three years.
Day of Action 2022 on "Systemic oppression in everyday life" happened today and we are extremely proud of our Student Diversity Council for organizing such a day of learning around these sensitive and important topics.
We are just a few days away from the departure of our first-ever Senior Trip! On Monday, 52 of our seniors will be flying to Hawaii's Big Island for a well-deserved week of discovery, fun, and relaxation.
