Members of the senior class attended the first-ever Senior Awards Night on May 20, 2026. The night was created to recognize the extraordinary involvement of our graduating seniors in the life of the IHA community. Awards were given out to celebrate the impressive achievements and commitment of the Class of 2026 in the classroom, on the athletic field, and in extracurricular endeavors. IHA’s valedictorian, Isabella Ragone, and salutatorian, Madison Les, were also presented with their medals to be worn on graduation day.
