Student Life

National Honor Society

The National Honor Society (NHS) was created in the USA in 1921 to recognize and develop the ideals of scholarship, leadership, character and service. There are local chapters of the NHS in high schools around the world. 

Students in grades 10, 11 and 12 who have attended ICS for at least two full semesters and have outstanding academic and behavior records will be invited to submit additional documents to support their nominations. These documents should indicate evidence of leadership, character, and service and are reviewed by a five-member faculty council.  Some activities of the Honor Society include planning recognition and honors at assemblies and organizing academic and community service opportunities for students.

High School Student Council

The purpose of the High School Student Council is to provide leadership training and opportunities for representative leadership among High School students. The High School Student Council represents the students’ interests on a variety of school-wide issues and may work with students, teachers, administrators, and board members in this respect.  Student Council members support, initiate, plan, and carry out events for the betterment of the ICS school community. Student Council members are supervised by a faculty advisor, the High School Assistant Principal, and are elected by High School Students. The High School Student Council follows the procedures and policies as outlined in the ICS High School Student Council Constitution.

Student Events

Student groups wishing to plan an event must apply to the high school principal through their activity advisor. Major events are scheduled before the end of the preceding year and appear on the annual ICS calendar. Additional activities must be scheduled at least four weeks in advance. Requisition for the use of school facilities must be obtained by securing, completing and submitting the necessary form to the administration at least ten days before the event.                                      

Co-curricular Activities 

ICS sponsors various activities outside of class and the curriculum, depending on student interest and participation. Co-curricular activities offer students an opportunity to meet friends and get involved with their school and community.  They are designed, organized and managed by the Athletics and Activities Department as well as by the high school's service learning coordinator.
