Thank you for choosing IRHS and the Amphitheater School District as community partners to educate your child.

As the new principal for IRHS, it is with the utmost excitement that I welcome parents, students, faculty and staff to a new, invigorating school year! I am honored to become a part of the Nighthawk
community, which has already issued a warm welcome.

I have been dedicated to the field of education for 23 years, 15 of which I served as a high school principal. I have also served as a Special Education Teacher, athletic director and assistant principal, all at the high school level. I am honored to bring my passion, commitment and skills as an educational
leader to Ironwood Ridge High School as a partner to ensuring your child’s success.

I view education as a life-long process and expect that I will continue to learn much about the uniqueness of IRHS. Most importantly, I bring a belief that students are at the center of all school-related decisions. I am excited to unite my experience, my openness to learn, and my student-centered approach to support teaching and learning. Because the relationships between families and the school are vital to the success of our students, I encourage you to become involved in every way possible. I look forward to meeting you soon!

Thanks,

Dr. Oranté Jenkins
