Twenty-four elementary students received the top read-a-thon prize of "Pizza with the Principal" today by reading at least 350 minutes during the Read-A-Thon two-week period. These students were treated to pizza by Fire Pit Pizzeria in Huron. Thank you Fire Pit Pizzeria!!!!
Tonight the fiber optic crew accidentally cut a propane line at the school. There were no injuries and there is no danger to the school.
We WILL have school on time tomorrow morning. The plan is to repair the line in the morning. It might be a bit chillier in morning but should not be too bad. When I arrive in the morning we will assess the situation. If we feel it is necessary to not have school, a decision will be made at that time. Let me know if there are any questions. WE ARE IROQUOIS!!
"Coming from a larger school and switching to Iroquois school was ultimately what got me through high school. Before switching to Iroquois I struggled in the bigger school district with being attentive and getting the one on one time with the teachers like I needed. Iroquois changed all that with it being a smaller district the teachers can commit there time to each student. The staff there cares about there students and want you to succeed. Although my time at Iroquois was short I am very grateful of my opportunity to have graduated from Iroquois High School. My only regret being not switching sooner!"
Lincoln P. (Class of 2019)

"Since I’ve transferred to Iroquois High School, I have noticed a lot of changes in my school life and most of them have been very positive. Before coming to Iroquois, I did not enjoy going to school and I did not get as much help from teachers either. I noticed that being in a small school like Iroquois was a lot better for me and I got a lot more help from teachers. The staff here actually care about the students." Taylor H. (Student)
Remember to return your form by Thursday so we have a hot cinnamon roll waiting for you!!!
