International & Local Field Trips
IHS: Seeing
The World
Our College, Career & Alumni Department connects students with educational and career options that prepare them for success after high school. Through visits to colleges, universities, and vocational training centers, students explore educational and career pathways that prepare them for life after high school. Our annual World Scholars cultural trip to Ghana, West Africa, expands that exploration, giving students opportunities to experience rich traditions, connect with new communities, and broaden their perspectives.
