Message from Our Founder

Welcome to Inlet Grove Community High School

It is my honor and pleasure to serve as the CEO/President of Inlet Grove Community High School Inc. This is my third year in this position. Before, I was the principal and I must say, I enjoyed every moment of it. I am proud that we are an ―A School.
You and your child are about to embark on the final leg of your public school journey. Your years at inlet Grove Community High School will be one of the most exciting and life altering to date and we will be traveling along with you on this journey. Times are changing and demands put on students today are quite different from those of a few years ago. Careful planning and a good relationship between the home and school can make your child’s stay at Inlet Grove Community High School an enjoyable one for all.
Inlet Grove offers a variety of educational opportunities, including college preparatory and Career Academies. We also offer a strong College Board Advanced Placement Program, STEM and a technology program.

It is my strong belief that it is our responsibility to teach students more than just reading, writing, math, science, and social studies. I believe that teaching them how to think critically and work collaboratively with others, even when they disagree about something, is equally as crucial to their future success in our global society. We know that research has shown that students have many different learning styles and that content and delivery must be differentiated and highly engaging. The more meaningful and current we can make our teaching, the better the student will achieve.

We are working hard to continue to be an ―A‖ school. It is our mission of Inlet Grove Community High School to graduate students with the skills and knowledge to be lifelong learners and responsible citizens through a technology rich and innovative learning environment that integrates rigorous academic and career preparation and develops internationally minded students who make contributions to a better and more peaceful world. Students will be prepared to enter college and the workforce upon graduation and will be able to successfully compete in today’s global society.

Sincerely,
Emma Banks, Ed.D.
