A PERSONAL NOTE FROM MS. HEAD
As our community ends another school year and I complete my first full semester as ISI Head of School, I write with much pride in shared accomplishments and as a leader and mother humbled by the welcome she and her family have received in these early months in Indianapolis.
In my first public event hosted at Salesforce Tower in February, I shared my priorities for my early months at ISI: building new awareness of the institution; re-energizing the school's ties to the Indiana business community; and launching the campaign that would finally unify our campuses.
Now five months later, I can say that we've successfully advanced on these vital fronts. From statewide and regional news coverage touting our distinct academics to personal meetings with more than 70 Indianapolis civic and business leaders to the start of the silent phase of the ONE ISI Capital Campaign, it's my hope that you have personally experienced or been exposed to the momentum ISI is enjoying at the close of this academic year.
To be sure, we will channel this momentum into the 2019-2020 school year. Already, there is much to look forward to when classes resume after the summer break. Under the guidance of a new Vice President for Enrollment Management, ISI will welcome a higher number of newly enrolled students for a school year than it has in more than a decade. Further, thanks to the international nature of our faculty and staff, which annually results in a number of relocations for current teachers, we have the opportunity to welcome 14 new educators to our team. All these welcome additions - students, faculty and staff - will enhance what we already understand to be the most diverse school community in the region.
With so much still ahead of us, I look forward to leading ISI into its next quarter-century of unparalleled achievement for its students, for Indianapolis and Indiana.
