Students at Independence High School are taking a stand against bullies.  On February 1, nationally known student motivational speaker Jerry Ackerman spoke to students at IHS about the issue of bullying.  Ackerman addressed how to make good choices, the role of social media in students' lives and what students should do if they see someone being bullied.

"We invited Jerry Ackerman to be a part of the ongoing conversation we have with students related to positive behavior," said IHS Assistant Principal Juli Oyer.  "His presentation shared the same values we have here at IHS and supported the behavior expectations for students."
