The New Ingraham

An International School

Under the direction of the International Education department, for the 2013–2014 school year, Ingraham's official title changed to Ingraham International School to signify the first year of the Language Immersion pathway being implemented at the school and to strengthen the connection with one of its main feeder schools, Hamilton International Middle School.

Clubs and organizations

Rocket Club

Formed during the 2006–07 school year, the club designs and builds model rockets. The team gained attention when it qualified to compete in the 2008 Team America Rocketry Challenge national competition, making the front page of the Seattle section of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.[5] The team finished 29th in the competition.[6] The rocket club's success in the TARC challenge in 2009 and 2010 earned it the right to participate in NASA's Student Launch Projects. The school fielded one team (Project Rainier) in 2009–10, and two teams (Projects Adams and Olympus) in 2010–11.[7] In 2015, the rocket club, having shrunk to two teams, sent both teams (Delta and Foxtrot) to TARC nationals, where Foxtrot placed 3rd and Delta 21st.[8]

JSA Club

JSA, also known as Junior States of America, is a large club at Ingraham High School. Known for its often impassioned debate and peerless youth-led leadership, JSA has become a magnet for all those interested in creating lasting change and debating the issues that matter. [9]

HOSA Club
