Iroquois Jr./Sr. High School -

Please see letter from District administration regarding October 19 positive COVID case confirmed at High School. Link to letter: https://5il.co/m9dq

GROUP PICTURES - Mon, October 19 is DAY 2 for Sports, Clubs, and Activities photo day in the Weight Room. Because of Covid, this is organized a little differently this year. Students will NOT be photographed as a whole group but as an individual from three different angles. Students in more than one club only need to go down to get a picture taken for the first club listed on the schedule. That stock photo will be reused for each club group photo Any athlete in a Fall sport who missed their time on Wednesday should bring their uniform with them for the pictures on Monday. The posted schedule can be found on Schoology.

Our October Elite Braves! Congratulations James, Brodie, Emma, Madison, Leah, and Chase!

Leah Moreland, Grade 10 Clubs and/or Sports: I am involved in soccer and jacket club. What do you love about Iroquois? I love the atmosphere of Iroquois. Most of the teachers I've gotten a chance to have are kind, positive, and try their best to set you up for success. What are your future aspirations? After high school I plan to either join the Police Academy or go to college for criminal justice, to become a State Trooper. What teacher has made the most impact on you and why? Ms. Glennon because whenever I had a bad day she knew how to cheer me up and she is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet. Favorite Quote: Never let success get to your head and never let disappointment get to your heart. -Kelley O'Hara

Chase Reeves, Grade 11. Clubs and/or Sports: Cheerleading, Cross Country, & Track and Field What do you love about Iroquois? I love how all of the teachers are always so kind and patient with their students. What are your future aspirations? I plan to graduate from Erie County Technical School get my license in cosmetology and then go to college for 10-12 years dermatology. I really like anything to do with beauty, but I absolutely love skin care. What teacher has made the most impact on you and why? The teacher that has made the most impact on me is probably Mr. Zimmerman because he’s helped me on assignments when I’ve need Favorite Quote: “If there is no struggle, there is no progress.”

SCHOOLOGY - in this current pandemic, it is the expectation of the administration and staff and Iroquois High School that the students utilize Schoology to keep up with their classwork while not in attendance. This expectation is for all missed days including family vacations, medical absences, and out of school suspensions. Students returning will be held accountable for any missed work upon their return.

Emma McGranor, Grade 8. Clubs and/or Sports: I play travel softball for the Lake Erie Diamonds What do you love about Iroquois? How nice everyone is, and just how nice all the teachers are. What are your future aspirations? I want to go into the Airforce or Coast Guard and then I would like to become a pediatrician. What teacher has made the most impact on you and why? Mrs. Bandur, she was so nice when I first came to the school. As a new student she was always there to help. If one day you're not feeling the best she will do everything she can to make you feel better. She goes above and beyond every expectation anybody has set for her. Favorite Quote: Sometimes just when I say hello the right way, I'm like, 'Whoa, I'm so cool. -Robert Pattinson

Brodie Luke, Grade 9. Clubs and/or Sports: I do Cross country for Iroquois and I also do cross country mountain biking. What do you love about Iroquois? I love how great the Iroquois teachers are and how good of an environment fro learning the teachers and staff have made. What are your future aspirations? I plan on going to college for either engineering, business, or cooking. I also plan on continuing to have a profession in mountain biking as I am growing in success. What teacher has made the most impact on you and why? Mr. Ferruggia had made the most impact on me because of how much of a fun and relaxed environment he makes his class and how well he teaches each subject. Favorite Quote: If it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you. - Fred DeVito

Madison Miller, grade 12 Clubs and/or Sports: Varsity Cross Country (captain), Varsity Football Cheerleading, Varsity Swimming, Varsity Track and Field, National Honor Society (secretary), Student Council (president) , Battle of the Books (president) What do you love about Iroquois? o I love that we are a small school with big pride. I can achieve so much more at Iroquois than I could ever at a larger school. I know most of the students and all of the teachers and staff. Most importantly the teachers know every student. The Iroquois School District is truly #onefamily. What are your future aspirations? (College, career, trips, etc.) Attend Seton Hill University to major in Forensic Science, Go to LECOM for my medical degree, Eventually become a Forensic Pathologist What teacher has made the most impact on you and why? o Teachers from several different areas of study have positively influenced my scholastic career. Therefore, it would be unfair to name just one. Favorite Quote: “I am ready to face any challenge that might be foolish enough to face me.” -Dwight Schrute, The Office
