Happy beginning of the school year from the Boosters!
The IHS Boosters Club is the Incline High School Parent Club. We raise money and help support the school with a mission of providing support for more than one student for more than one year. Each year, we elect a board and invite students, parents and our community to become members. We have 3-4 parent meetings a year where you can hear from Principal Tierney, guest speakers and hear about school happenings. We also host our annual Crab Feed Fun-Raiser which is held at the Hyatt and is an incredibly fun event with food and live music that is not to be missed. We are looking forward to a robust, engaging, and fun school year for all. Below you will find information for upcoming events, including some volunteer opportunities for the first week of school!
All Boosters’ communication will be posted on the Boosters’ Website and Boosters’ Facebook page.

What is RISE Week?
The 1st week of the 2022-23 school year will be an event filled week that will include extensive team building, goal setting, breaking barriers and creating a supportive school community. Students will be assigned an advisor at the end of the week to be their school advocate to know their strengths, needs, hopes & dreams. We want advisors to know each student’s family and how to best help each student to reach their goals. Advisor will also assist in students learning through interest projects and internships. Rise Week is an essential building block for a year of success. Our school study and accreditation process supported this student-centered work. RISE Week was the main Fund-a-Need project featured at the 40th Annual Crab Feed in March and the IHS community raised money to pay for the entire week plus additional funds to support the school’s technology needs.
