Build Community - Enrich Your Life
In collaboration with the IHS College and Career Center, the IH PTSA is proud to sponsor the IH PTSA Community Service Program, designed to recognize students’ contributions throughout our community through service.
Community Service hours are reported to IH PTSA throughout each year. The IH PTSA tabulates and submits the total hours reported to the school for special recognition at the end of senior year. Each student completing 100 or more Community Service Hours will receive a certificate and honor cord.
