Student Parking Passes
Steps to obtain a parking pass for IHS for the new 2022 - 2023 school year:
Possess a state issued driver's license.
Complete the required safety class, Alive at 25. This is a four-hour class and only needs to be completed once during a student's high school tenure. Follow the Alive at 25 link to sign up for the class. The cost of the course is $40. No other class may serve as a substitute for this safety class.
Fill out the application for parking on campus for the 2022-2023 school year using this link: IHS Student Parking Application. This Google form must be completed in its entirety.
Pay for the 2022-2023 Parking Pass. Once a parking application/agreement has been submitted, we will do our best to have the $50.00 parking fee in Rycor by the following day. Follow the Student Quick Pay to pay online with a credit card. Cash, check, and credit card payments can also be made with the bookkeeper in the IHS Main Office. You may pick up your pass from the Irmo High School Main Office.
ALL outstanding debt on the student's school account must be paid in order for a parking pass to be issued.
If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Sarah Brooks, sbrooks@lexrich5.org, 803.476.3004.

Seniors
Senior IGP Meetings
Hello Class of 2023 Families!
The Irmo High School Counseling department is preparing to conduct Senior IGP Conferences. These conferences will take approximately 30 minutes. While parent/guardian attendance is required, an option for parents to attend virtually will also be provided. During this conference we will review credits, transcripts, and discuss post-secondary options.
You will receive a postcard invitation via U.S. mail and an email calendar invitation containing the meeting link if you desire to attend virtually. Upon receiving your invitation, please review your appointment time. There is very limited flexibility in rescheduling the assigned IGP appointment time; however, if you are not able to attend on the date scheduled please contact your School Counselor as soon as possible to discuss alternate arrangements.
The senior year is a busy and exciting year. There is so much to do and so many questions. The School Counseling Department at Irmo High School is here to assist you!

What you might not know: GOD is my strength.
What makes IHS special to me: I see a lot of potential every day I walk the halls.
In my own words: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!; Suffering is an opportunity to know Jesus better; You choose what you value; Plan what is good; Wisdom will help you live longer.
