Eugene International High School Staff 2008-2009

"As I went through my college years, I realized the privilege of such a high school education…. The rigor of the IB diploma senior year gave me a passion for intellectual scholarship, and furthered my love of learning…. The credit I received from those tests allowed me to graduate one year early…. I look back on my IHS years with many fond memories. Mostly I remember the teachers…. College professors never met even a fraction of the teaching skill and care of the IHS teachers I was so privileged to have known…"
Sharma Rapoport, Class of 2001

"I think IHS is an exceptional program to raise the bar for high school education. I developed writing and composition skills that helped me in college tremendously. The global breadth of the program has served me well both in travel and study abroad..."
Heidi Stout, Class of 1994

"Looking back on my experience with IHS I now realize how important it was in shaping my comprehensive understanding of the world around me. I credit the program with teaching me to love learning and my subsequent success in college and graduate school. I felt that I started college ahead of my freshman peers in terms of my writing abilities and time management skills. Plus, it made me really good at Jeopardy.
Alison (Stark) Leiman, Class of 2000

"My IB education has served me well at Clark Honors College. The exams and essays are very similar to those we wrote in IHS and my teachers definitely laid a strong foundation for college. IB and IHS create an environment in which one hardly realizes one is learning until, faced with daunting college essays, the lessons kick in, and writing is no longer difficult, but fun instead."
Nikos Aragon-Herbert, Class of 2004

"...To give encouragement to current IHSers, I'd like to say I was anything but an academic butterfly in high school. Nevertheless, your first month at college you too will realize that the caliber of students and faculty you're surrounded by now will never be matched. Period. I'm a big fancy law student now (never thought I'd say that), and ask Courtney Leonard or Mr. Wiebe, if I can turn out ok academically, ANYONE in IHS can."
Joshua Walker, Class of 2002
