Welcome to Istrouma Magnet High and Middle School — where tradition meets innovation and every student is prepared to lead, achieve, and excel. At Istrouma, we are proud to offer a rigorous academic curriculum designed to challenge and inspire students in grades 6 through 12. Our middle school serves as a dedicated academic magnet, building a strong foundation in core subjects through accelerated learning and critical thinking. As students transition to high school, they enter our academic and digital media magnet, where innovation, creativity, and college-readiness converge. Whether exploring STEM pathways, broadcasting through digital media, or engaging in dual enrollment, our students are equipped with the tools to succeed in the classroom and beyond. We believe in fostering a culture of high expectations, strong character, and meaningful relationships. Every member of our team — from teachers and staff to families and community partners — plays a vital role in our students’ success. As principal, I am honored to lead this historic institution with a renewed vision for academic excellence and student empowerment. We invite you to explore the opportunities at Istrouma and join us in our mission to shape the next generation of leaders, innovators, and scholars. We are Istrouma — Where Excellence is the Standard and Legacy Lives On.
