In-person learning has commenced and measures are in place to ensure the safety of all in the ISM community as the COVID-19 pandemic continues. Students, teachers, and staff are donning masks and following other safety protocols. More information about the school's COVID-19 policies and practices is available online here.

Also to help students achieve their full potential, ISM has improved its dining services with the addition of an executive chef. An additional feature is the intentional expansion of school activities and offerings, including the addition of an ISM Golf Academy for the student-athlete interested in playing golf at an elite level. ISM is also now home to a golf simulation room, which will be utilized in golf training as well as for academic learning in the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) areas of study.
Blending the new with traditions of academic excellence and community connectedness, 2021-2022 is sure to be another stellar year at ISM.
Go Huskies!
