However, Indian Hills High School also places a great deal of emphasis on the effective development of its students and is proud of its caring environment where the social and emotional needs of its students are also met.” He added, “A rich array of academic courses is available at Indian Hills High School, and every effort is made to provide a curriculum that is relevant to the lives of young adults and one that is both challenging and interesting.” ShopRite suit (continued from page 7) replace the building that currently occupies the site.
