What is a shadow day?

A Shadow Day is a visit that allows prospective students (and any high school transfer students) the opportunity to experience a day in the life of an Incarnate Word High School student. Students will be paired with an IWHS student ambassador to explore the IWHS campus, attend classes and lunch, and learn more about all that IWHS has to offer. Drop-off begins at 7:45am and pick-up is at 3:00pm. Parents/guardians and students are invited back to campus at 3:00pm for an optional Q&A session and school tour.
