COLLEGE VISITS AT IHS and other locations in the community! Students interested in attending should sign up in the Career Center. Juniors and Seniors who wish to attend a visit during one of their classes must ask the teacher for their OK. At the end of the presentation we give the students at "back to class" pass so that they can prove attendance. Sophomores are encouraged to attend when the visit matches their lunch period. The majority of college visits happen Sept - Dec. We post the list of visiting schools under the College Planning tab.
