WELCOME TO ICIS
Kim Davis, Intermediate School Principal
It is my privilege to work alongside the students, staff, and parents at ICIS. Our school is home to approximately 455 students in the third, fourth and fifth grades. We have created an educational environment in which each student is challenged and encouraged to achieve his or her potential.
Our team builds leadership opportunities and educational experiences that help students find their strengths and grow into their passions. From our choirs singing in the community to our robotics team competing at the state level, we strive to provide an array of opportunities for students to shine. ICIS is proud to compete in the Indiana Spell Bowl, Math Bowl and Science Bowl along with hosting an Art Club, Video Club and Mile Club.
We hope our passion for learning and advocating for our students is obvious in all that we do. We take pride in the role we play in our community and the family we have built at ICIS.

OUR VISION
The vision of the Nineveh-Hensley-Jackson United School Corporation is that of a dynamic organization that will work in partnership with the family and community to maintain and provide adequate resources for a safe, disciplined, and productive environment where all students and highly competent and committed adults are meaningfully engaging in learning. Our curriculum design and instructional practices will provide the knowledge, attitudes, skills, and habits for all students to become responsible citizens in American society, life-long learners, and successful participants in a global and technological society.
Our Mission
The Indian Creek Intermediate School creates an educational environment in which each student is challenged and encouraged to achieve his or her potential.
Indian Creek Intermediate School serves students in grades 3, 4 and 5. Having only three grade levels allows opportunities to tailor our academic curriculum and our special activities and programs to meet the unique needs of our students.
The ICIS staff is very caring and dedicated to giving each student the best education possible. ICIS staff is highly involved in the staff development process and the creation of a standards-based curriculum to make learning and instruction relevant to the students. The Parent Teacher Organization is very active and supportive of the school's academic programming. Many adult volunteers enhance the social and academic learning process. All parents are encouraged to be an integral part of their child’s life at Indian Creek Intermediate School.
Lessons are designed to teach the curriculum while instilling sound morals and a positive work ethic teaching kids personal responsibility. Cooperation in and out of the classroom setting is expected and teachers present many opportunities for students to work in cooperative groups. Each student in the building has a Chromebook that they use throughout the day to meet the academic activities presented to them. The average class size is less than 24 students. For 55 minutes each day, students participate in Art, Music, or Physical Education. Our media specialist instructs students in library skills and oversees the school-wide reading incentive program that gets students excited about reading. Students have access to multiple electronic learning programs.
ICIS consistently places near the top of Johnson County in the standardized assessments given to students across the state. The students’ language arts and mathematics ISTEP scores are consistently the highest while comparing Morgan County schools as well. The third-grade students have passed the IREAD3 Assessment at 90% or higher on the first assessment for each year the assessment has been in existence. The success of the assessments is great, but preparing the students for future success beyond the Intermediate School is our school objective.
Innovation Studio Fosters STEM Learning
Students at Indian Creek Elementary and Intermediate Schools enjoy hands-on experiential learning through the IC Innovation Studio, a dedicated STEM classroom in partnership with Purdue IN-MaC and Endress+Hauser, Inc. THE space allows teachers and their students to gain hands-on STEM experience that complements the learning received in the classroom
