I have had the best experiences with all my teachers. They are always there to help me out. I love being on the Track Team. My Guidance Councilor is amazing. I look forward to furthering my education into Sports Medicine so I can help other kids.

My experience with Indian River High School has been nothing but amazing. I have had numerous amazing teachers who not only taught me their subject well, but taught me life lessons. The school spirit Indian River holds is amazing and makes it more fun to come with all the things the school holds for us.
