What do we do in the IBA?

All IBA classes take two field trips per semester to local businesses for presentations about how that business operates financially, their marketing and advertising plans, and their customer development plans.

We host a Business Etiquette Luncheon, Career Day, College Career Night, and Networking Lunches once a nine week period for all IBA students.  The IBA also hosts an End of the Year Banquet. 

We host an array of guest speakers in the IBA classes thru out the school year. We take Junior IBA students on a domestic trip in the Fall semester and Seniors travel to Europe during their Spring Break. We have three fundraisers per school year. The profits are applied to the student’s trips.

In November we recruit in the Middle Schools for the Freshmen Class, presentations are held for all 8th graders and their parents.

Our students compete in DECA, which is a student marketing organization, with many IBA students competing at the state and international levels. 

Each IBA student is also required to complete 10 hours of community service per school year.
