The IC Board of Education will hold its monthly meeting on Thursday, February 16, 2023 at 7:00 pm at the Mason City Public Library. The Google Meet address is https://meet.google.com/qku-wdod-tmh?hs=122&authuser=0

ICHS requires all our students to participate in mock interviews before graduation. Recent graduates told us they wished we would have done it earlier in their high school careers. We are listening to their feedback and moving this to sophomore year, but we want to ensure that all of our juniors and seniors also get this experience.
To make this happen, we need your help! If you are interested in participating in interviews during the month of March, please complete this form: https://forms.gle/CHBS9SkZBdkduqqu7. We will be in touch with more details once we have our interviewers. Thanks in advance!
