Apply to ISR
Interested in joining the ISR program?
Students who wish to participate in the ISR programs at Stratford, Overton, or Hillsboro should complete the application in Spring 2024.

If you have any questions about the ISR program or the admissions process, please contact the teacher at the school (listed below) or Dr. Angela Eeds.
