About Us

The Independence High School community will provide a safe and engaging atmosphere in a small, personalized, and inclusive setting.

Faculty and staff will work with students and families to provide a high level of support to encourage student achievement. Teachers recognize and respond to individual strengths and needs of students as students work toward academic mastery and critical-thinking skills.

By providing students with a variety of sources and perspectives, teachers foster focused and rigorous learning in a supportive and collaborative environment.

We will nurture a passion for learning and problem-solving skills using Restorative Practices in an environment built on high accountability and high support. Families will be encouraged to maintain a high level of engagement with the school.

Graduates of Independence High School will have developed more positive and engaged minds and will be capable of critical self-reflection. We support students as they reconnect to school and prepare them to pursue college and careers so they become responsible, productive, and independent members of society.
