We provide opportunities for growth and independence within a caring, supportive group of students and teachers. From our robust counseling and advising program to trusted relationships, IVA High is a community that has your back:
All of the students are like a family. We treat everyone with respect. We are a school where we are heard and not shut down for our opinions. There is no fighting. We handle things differently. Instead of physically fighting one another, we learn how to talk it out. It is so small, so we have to get along.
