Welcome to our Alumni Network!
Irvington High School is starting an alumni network to connect all the previous classes and allow current students to get advice and a greater perspective on how to optimize their time in high school. We are partnering with the College and Career Center and hope that you are able to find the answers to any questions you may have! Throughout the year, we will be hosting panels and get-togethers, posting advice videos from alumni, and updating the list of alumni contacts.
