Dear Parents and Students,

Welcome to a new academic year at Independence High School!I am honored and excited to work with such an exceptional community of students, parents, and educators.

At Independence High, we place great emphasis on cultivating essential qualities that we believe are fundamental for success in both academics and life. These qualities are Responsibility, Overcoming Obstacles, Adaptability, and Respect.

RESPONSIBILITY: We firmly believe that fostering a sense of responsibility is crucial for personal development and academic achievement. Our school community strives to instill in our students a strong sense of accountability for their actions, both in their studies and in their interactions with others. 

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES: Life is full of obstacles, but we know that with determination and perseverance, we can overcome them. We encourage our students to embrace challenges as opportunities for growth. Our dedicated teachers, counselor, and staff are here to support and guide them every step of the way. 

ADAPTABILITY: In today's rapidly changing world, adaptability is a crucial skill. We understand the importance of being open to new ideas, cultures, and perspectives. Through various experiences and learning opportunities, we foster adaptability in our students, preparing them to thrive in an ever-changing global landscape.

RESPECT: At Independence High, we foster a culture of respect and kindness. Respect for oneself, for others, and for the world around us. We promote a safe and nurturing atmosphere where every member of our school community feels valued and appreciated. 

I encourage parents, teachers, and students to work hand in hand. Communication is key, and we welcome your active involvement in your child's education.

I am incredibly excited about the possibilities that this academic year holds for each one of you. Together, let's create a learning environment that inspires, challenges, and supports our students to become responsible, resilient, adaptable, and respectful individuals.

Thank you for entrusting us with the education and development of your children. Here's to a fantastic year ahead!

Warm regards,

Nicole Rose, Principal, Independence High School
