I felt more than prepared for college and decided to become a teacher because of the impact my IHS Class of 2009 26 teachers had on me. The teachers in IHS were more than teachers, they were mentors in life. I kept in touch with a few after high school and into my college years. They cared for students as people and treated them as such. IHS helped me form an understanding of the world and the different people in my own while guiding me to see the big picture in life.” CLASS OF 2004 Christopher Barnes is an accountant at Ernst & Young in Nashville, TN.

The critical thinking skills I acquired have been invaluable in my academic and professional life, as I’m sure they have been for other alumni.

It was in this program that I first started practicing my time management skills and my ability to push myself and work hard. It was a very well rounded liberal arts program.
