Ivory Intermediate - Where Learning is Required!

April 21, 2026

One Good Thing:

In case you missed it, we are excited to share that Ivory Intermediate has once again been named a 2025–2026 Capturing Kids’ Hearts National Showcase School, making this back-to-back recognition for our campus!

Out of more than 10,000 campuses served across the country, Ivory was selected for this honor for the second year in a row. This continued recognition speaks to the intentional, consistent work happening every day at Ivory, where Learning is Required and relationships come first.

Through Capturing Kids’ Hearts, our teachers and staff focus on building strong, meaningful connections with students. We know that when students feel safe, known, and valued, they are more engaged, more confident, and more successful.

This recognition isn’t about one moment - it reflects what our students and staff live out daily. Schools earning this honor demonstrate:

  • Strong commitment to the CKH Process
  • A positive, supportive school culture
  • Clear impact on student success and well-being
  • Ongoing implementation observed by CKH partners

At Ivory, relationships aren’t just something we talk about - they are something we practice, protect, and prioritize every single day.

We are so proud of our students and staff for continuing to build a campus where everyone belongs, everyone grows, and everyone is supported. Thank you for your partnership in helping us create a school where students love to be and are prepared for what’s next.
Together, we’re building something special - year after year.
