The Irmo High School Counseling Department is preparing to conduct Senior Individual Graduation Plan (IGP) Conferences. Conferences will begin on September 15, 2025.

We strongly encourage your participation in this meaningful conversation about your student’s future. Parent/guardian attendance is required, and we are pleased to offer both in-person and virtual meeting options for your convenience.

An email invitation will be sent to parents/guardians with a link to schedule your student's IGP conference at a time that works best for you.
The scheduling window is open from August 25 to September 5, 2025.
Conferences not scheduled during this window will be assigned a date and time.
