The Alumni Association, promoting educational memories one class at a time.
The I.H.S. Alumni Association Breakfast in the Park is open to all I.H.S. alumni, faculty, family, and friends. The event will include great food, raffles, and camaraderie! This casual event has become a popular place to catch up with former classmates.
Advance reservations are encouraged, however, tickets will also be available at the Home Days Alumni Tent and at the door the day of the event. Contact Bob Wagner (‘66) for tickets and more information:

We are looking for volunteers to help at the Alumni Tent at Home Days on Friday, August 1, and Saturday, August 2! The gig is simple: greet people, have them sign the guestbook, give out alumni stickers, collect membership dues and sell raffle and brunch tickets. Shifts are less than two hours and available on Friday and Saturday. If all shifts are filled you can still come and help out as there’s always people to greet and memories to share!
A video was created celebrating the 100th graduating class from Independence High School. Please enjoy this video created by the students at IHS:

Wanted Diploma of Distinction Nominations!
Annually the Independence High School Alumni Association awards the “Alumni of Distinction” to a graduate of Independence High School. The award is presented at the June Quarterly meeting (the second Monday of June,) in the High School Multimedia Center. Any current member of the Alumni Association may submit a nomination. The nomination criteria is intentionally very “open” as excellence comes in diverse careers, life, service and other measures of contribution. We request a narrative description of “excellence” that places the nominee above all others. Nominations should include the graduate’s full name (maiden & married if appropriate), graduation year and a narrative of why this person is the most deserving graduate you know.
The cutoff for nominations is April 21, but submissions after that date will be considered for the following year.
The award recipient will be chosen at an Alumni Association Board meeting no later than the second week of May.
