Secondary faculty, principals and the Director of Teaching and Learning met over the course of the 2019-2020 school year to plan and draft this Secondary Education Plan. In this plan, we sought to build an aligned vision for Ipswich Middle and High School that would both ground and guide our work together. This process involved IMS and IHS faculty meeting in joint groups by department for planning, writing and review by both educators and secondary administrators, and sharing with School Councils. When the goal of presenting the Secondary Education Plan to the School Committee was thwarted by COVID-19 in the spring of 2020, the team again took up the work in the fall and presented to the School Committee on November 19, 2020. The team integrated the School Committee's feedback and then presented the final plan, which was approved on December 17, 2020.
