School Counseling
Senior Individual Graduation Plan (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!

Staff Highlight - Carolyn Searles 🐝
Role at IHS: Finance & Accounting Teacher
Years at IHS: 23
What you might not know: I used to work for a family court/circuit court judge for 5 years prior to teaching.
What makes IHS special to me: My daughter graduated from here and she is now a medical doctor. The teachers at Irmo prepare students to be the best that they can be.
In my own words: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
"In ourselves, our future lies"
