We would like to congratulate both of our amazing teams for the great work that they did in the Parker battles. While they did not move on, we are extremely proud of them and the hard work that they put into the battles.

Illness at IHE:
We are experiencing a great number of illnesses with staff and students. Please review the following letter from the district regarding illnesses and prevention. Thank you! Letter

Douglas County Strategic Plan:
Douglas County School District is ready to start creating its road map for the next 3-5 years and we want to hear from families and community members from across our school district about what priorities and endeavors should be included in our plan.


Please help us make sure that the Iron Horse voice is well represented at one of these upcoming community conversations. No RSVP is required. However, it is so important for our community members to provide input and insight into this plan. I strongly encourage you to attend!


Help us determine the next steps necessary to ensure that each and every student in Douglas County School District is ready for a successful life after high school, and beyond.
