ICHS Job Shadow Spotlight
This week, we’re proud to recognize a fantastic group of high school students who stepped up to serve others by helping pack food bags for members of our school community.
Working alongside our partners at Helping Hands Help End Hunger, these students gave their time and energy to ensure bags were prepared and ready to be shared. Their positive attitudes and commitment to helping others made a meaningful impact.
It’s always encouraging to see our students leading through service. We appreciate their hard work and the example they set for others! ❤️🖤
Today, State School Superintendent Richard Woods presented Irwin County High School with a banner recognizing ICHS as a GaDOE Literacy Leader for growth in reading during the 2024–2025 school year.

🚗🔬 Forensic Crash Experts in Physical Science! 🔬🚗
Mrs. Carter's 9th grade students recently stepped into the role of accident reconstruction specialists. Using Newton’s Laws, momentum, and force, students analyzed collision scenarios, examined skid marks and speed evidence, and presented evidence-based explanations of what happened.
We were especially grateful to have Officer Phillips visit and share real-world insight into crash investigations. His perspective helped students see how physics connects directly to law enforcement and community safety.
We're proud of the critical thinking and teamwork our students demonstrated!
