| Independence High School Thursday, February 16, 2023 |
Good morning, Falcons! Today is “Soulmate Day,” also known as “Twin Day!” Tomorrow, dress up or down, depending on your preference! We’ll be handing out candy to people dressed up each day, so make sure to participate! Tomorrow, we’ll be awarding prizes - including Starbucks gift cards - to the person who demonstrates the most school spirit!
We’ll be hosting games in the quad during lunch every day this week, so come out and play! Today, we’ll be testing your bonds - with balloons!
In honor of both Valentine’s Day and Black History Month, let’s remember some of the most inspiring couples who made an impact on American society. Today’s couple is John and Eunice Johnson, who founded the iconic magazine Ebony, which highlighted the “nuances of African American life and culture,” and established “modern iterations of Black beauty and fashion” (from the Council for International African Fashion Education).
Huge congratulations to our baseball team, who beat Arvin High School in their game this week! And big props to our softball team, who crushed Liberty in their scrimmage on Tuesday! Amazing start to the season!
We are so proud of all of our winter athletes and want to congratulate you all on an amazing season! The boys’ basketball team will be moving on to the next level of playoffs, so we’ll host Lompoc tomorrow evening at 6pm - come out and support our Falcons! Also, special shoutout to the cheering section in the back - you know who you are!
The finance office is closed this week.
AP/Honors applications are now available for the 2023-2024 school year! Pick up a paper copy from Mrs. Moreno in the Counseling Office or download the application from our website!

Don’t miss out on the annual International Mother Language Day event happening next Tuesday, February 21, after school in the cafeteria! It’s an amazing event that celebrates the huge variety of cultures and languages represented at IHS!
