We encourage students of all ages to explore their interests through a wide variety of offerings. When you become an ISM Husky you get a challenging, supportive, instructive, and fun experience that fosters teamwork, communication, character development and leadership. Our programs are here to expand each student's potential and offer yet another opportunity for learning and growth. At ISM, students can excel as a top athlete, try a sport or activity for the first time, serve as a student manager, work behind the scenes, or be an enthusiastic part of the fan section.
ISM offers more than 50 different sports & activities! ISM high school athletic teams are independent and a member of the MSHSL. Go Huskies!
