Attending a Catholic school has not only provided me with a better education, but it has also given me a safe environment to grow as a person. The atmosphere of IHA has given me the opportunity to learn so much more about myself. Not only do I get  the chance to develop my faith and grow spiritually, but I also get to show my faith boldly. Whether it is being able to proudly do the Sign of the Cross before a pop quiz or simply being able to start each day with prayer, it all brings a sense of comfort and support.

The teachers at a Catholic school are different than those you’ll find anywhere else. They are not just average, ordinary teachers, but rather they are caring, supportive, and motivational role models in our lives. The teachers of IHA are always willing to go the extra mile for their students. Whether this means staying longer than they have to in order to help a student understand a lesson, or not moving on from a topic until everyone masters it, it is clear to all of the students that these men and women put in long hours to assure the best possible lessons for us. The teachers of IHA are truly one of a kind.

Overall, attending a Catholic school has molded me into the person I am today and continues to make me a better person, teaching me essential values and always challenging me to be the best version of myself.
