Principal's Corner

 

Welcome to Inderkum High School, home of the Tigers!  My name is J. Scott Pitts, and I am privileged to serve as Principal of Inderkum High School!

As a long-time member of the greater Natomas community, the Inderkum High School area is a special place that my family and I call home.  Through my career, I’m grateful to have played many roles at IHS, as well as across NUSD, and I’m thoroughly enjoying the opportunity to be the principal here at Inderkum.  IHS is a comprehensive IB World School, and as one of the most diverse campuses in the nation, it is an amazing place where the world truly comes together.  In this spirit, I look forward to a partnership with our students, families, and community in helping our Tigers to demonstrate responsibility, achieve academic and social-emotional growth, embrace diversity, be prepared to make decisions about their college and career success, and to GROWL… it’s the Tiger Way! 

As we anticipate another year of achievement in academics, athletics, and student activities here at IHS, we will continue to focus on growing a positive campus culture with students feeling connected on campus, having positive attendance, and actively engaging in learning.  Literacy will also remain a focus across campus, along with engaging students in learning through our International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Program (MYP) using AVID strategies and approaches.  

We value families as partners in the education of our students, and parent/guardian involvement is welcomed; whether through our various parent organizations or by simply sharing an active interest in the education of your student at home.  To help streamline communication and have all messages appear in a single place, we will be using Parent Square as the single communication platform to communicate with families, as well as for turning in start-of-school documents.  To learn more about ParentSquare, please use linked information for Parent Square or check out this video.  We hope the experience of being a part of the Tiger Family is exciting and fulfilling.
