Welcome to IHS!

Transitioning to a new school and community can be overwhelming for parents and students, alike.  The PTSA New Family Connections Program (formerly New Family Ambassadors Program) is here to ease your family's transition. NFCP is a volunteer program that offers social and educational opportunities, especially for families new to the Issaquah School District.  The program offers access to shared high school and community resources, as well as connections to established families to help answer questions, offer suggestions and ultimately welcome you to Issaquah.  

Interested in being paired with an experienced IHS parent or guardian? Answer our quick New To IHS Family Questionnaire.  Information is completely confidential, and only used for contact and matching purposes.  (Interested in being the mentor (i.e. New Family Ambassador)?  Then please fill out our Ambassador Questionnaire ).

Each month, join the Ambassadors and friends, taking AM fieldtrips, coffee stops, lunch breaks, hikes.  While these events are sponsored by the New Family Connections, anyone is welcome  to come.
