National School Counseling Week focuses on the unique contribution of school counselors within school systems. Thank you to our counselors for the positive impact you make within IUSD and beyond!
IUSD students shined during the District’s 43rd Annual Science Fair! More than 300 projects were submitted by students in grades 6-12 with nearly 200 advancing to the OC Science and Engineering Fair.
IUSD was named a top ranking district, ranking as the 14th best school district in California and the No. 1 best school district in Orange County by Niche. University High School was also named a top 10 public high school. 
This annual honor goes to first- or second-year instructors who go above and beyond while demonstrating professional curiosity and an unbridled enthusiasm for teaching.
IUSD’s Teacher of the Year program recognizes exceptional instructors at the high, middle and elementary school levels. Congratulations to this year's honorees Kristie Donavan, Sherilyn Cammarato and Margot Tyson!

Five IUSD teachers have been recognized by Orange County Music and Arts Administrators (OCMAA) as outstanding arts educators.

IUSD’s Brianne Ford, Assistant Superintendent of IT, was recognized and celebrated by education IT professionals throughout the state.
Nearly 30 percent of OC National Merit Scholarship Semifinalists are IUSD Students. These talented students have an opportunity to continue in the competition for 7,140 scholarships worth nearly $28M.
 With only nine schools in Orange County to make the California top 100 "Best High Schools" ranking, IUSD was the only OC school district to have four schools in the top 100 ranking.  
In addition to taking top honors, several students took home national awards and Venado Middle School teacher Hector Gamboa was nominated as a national teacher of the year!
