IHS Senior Awards 2023

Every year, there is a ceremony for seniors who have received an award(s). Prizes come from many sources, such as nominations by IHS teachers or an outside community organization, in the memory of loved ones, or in honor of an IHS graduating class. These specific awards have a trust fund account and recognize students with a monetary prize.  

You will need to fill out an award application to be eligible for the numerous awards presented to IHS Seniors. We encourage you to complete your Senior Awards Application electronically using the linked form. There will also be paper copies in Student Services, the Welcome Center, and H-Courtyard.  

Before you get started, it is essential to note that this application will determine award recipients. Awards fall under multiple categories, including academic achievement, financial need, individual character, and ethnic background of students. Be honest when completing your application to avoid disqualification. Finally, please write a thank you note to the award's sponsor if you are selected.
