A Message from the Innovation Campus
Hello, families!  As we begin the scheduling season, we are excited to share with you some information about the Innovation Campus. We are excited to offer classes that complement the wonderful things going on at the home buildings and look forward to helping your student schedule for next year. Please take a moment to review this middle school slideshow or this high school slideshow with specifics about our course offerings and check out this link to view videos created by our staff members to give you a glimpse into their class. 

Whether curious about future learning on the Campus, or a current or past student at the ILC or HUB, please join us for an Open House on February 20th from 6:00-7:00. Staff will be on hand to share our spaces and discuss our courses.

We look forward to seeing you at the Innovation Campus during the 2025/2026 school year!
