 As principal of Indian River High School, I would like to extend a warm welcome to the 2009-2010 school year. Each year provides opportunity for change and growth, and I am looking forward to working with a committed staff of professionals to ensure our continued success. Our state test scores continue to be some of the best in Delaware among public schools, and our athletic, music, BPA, and FFA programs continue to produce recognized scholar-athletes and state award winners. This year we anticipate several new extra-curricular programs: a cross country team, a swimming club team, and due to the support of a parent group, IRHS may once again have a drama program. Additionally, our academic programs continue to grow with the inclusion of new Advanced Placement courses: AP Probability and Statistics and AP Psychology. US News and World Report has declared us a bronze award winner as one of the best high schools in the United States, and as your principal I challenge you to help us become a “World Class” high school. I want to thank all of our parents and community members for their continued support of our school and wish all Indian River High School students a successful 2009-2010 school year. Sincerely, Mark Steele / IR Principal
