The best parts of irion county is definitely the teachers and faculty and how much they care about each and every student. They always make sure to keep everyone on track and make sure they are understanding what they are learning. I haven't had a single bad experience at IC I have loved every year that I have been here.

It is a small school in a small town. There are small class sizes with lots of hands on learning. Every student knows each other and every teacher. The teachers and parents support every athletic and extracurricular event.
