Athletics Blog – Community Education
Lisa Isom, Athletics Director
The philosophy of ISY is to be both a school and a community center for its families and faculty. By offering activities and courses for adults, we are aligning with ISY’s vision of developing lifelong learners. With that in mind, we are starting up our next session of activities, some of which are ongoing throughout the year. If you have ideas or contacts for new community education programs, please email Lisa Isom, activities director.
