Wellness Center Reopening

We celebrated the reopening of the Wellness Center on October 12, 2022, after a long collaborative process of renovation! The wellness center is open to students seeking support in room 47, with a pass from their teacher. Follow us on instagram at @ihswc for more updates and information.

Donate to Support the Program

All donations towards the Wellness Center are tax deductible and go towards paint, snacks, activities, and technology in the space, supporting student mental health. You can pay online through Paypal or in-person via cash or check. Checks should be made out to IHS PTSA and can be dropped off in the PTSA mailbox in the office. If donating with a check, you must specify in the memo section that it's for Wellness. Cash donations need to include a letter stating the donor name, contact info (can be an email address), and where the money is going (ie. Wellness).
