50th Anniversary Photo Contest Winners

As part of IUSD’s 50th Anniversary, the District invited the community to participate in our 50th Anniversary Photo contest by submitting photos in the 12 and Up age group that included athletics, visual and performing arts, STEM, IUSD community/student life, architecture and historical categories.  The contest also featured a special 11 and Under age group for our youngest photographers.  

The District received more than 200 photo submissions from students, staff, families and community members that creatively captured the many wonderful aspects of our District.
