We're fortunate to have great families and supportive parents here in Ithaca. These students are discovering new abilities this trimester, in our tech classes. Hard workers and well behaved too!

Our 8th graders recently started a new unit in their general agriculture class. The student created posters you see here were part of an assignment in that unit, based on the concept "All about FFA".
Classroom instruction, supervised agricultural experience and FFA leadership all play a role in the education kids receive at IHS. Talk to your 8th grader about their agricultural education today!
A few of our Junior High students think 12th graders are seriously overrated.
Success in school is a team effort. We reach our academic goals with the help and support of others. Have a great weekend, students!
Ithaca High School is a great place for families! Older and younger siblings rate us 10 out of 10!
The Ithaca High School Homecoming dance will take place on Saturday, October 8th - from 8pm to 11pm. This year's theme for the dance is "Ocean Paradise". Tickets cost $15 each, or 2 tickets for $25.
If your student is planning to bring a guest to the dance who is currently enrolled at another high school, or a guest who has already graduated high school (no guests 21 or older), your student MUST pick up and fill out a guest form from the IHS office asap.
Guest forms (with copy of the guest's picture ID) must then be completed and turned back into the office by October 5th.
The Homecoming dance is for students in grades 9-12 only. Junior High students will not attend this event. Help us make this dance enjoyable for all who do attend, by using common sense and following school policies. Thank you!
