This past June, IWA graduated the largest class in our school’s history continuing the tradition of LEARNING that our students receive. We embarked on a new school year and a new era of LEADERSHIIP with Mr. Mark Munford as our Headmaster. Mr. Munford returns to his alma mater with much enthusiasm as he guides us into this new era. As we welcomed Mr. Munford to campus, we were also saying good-bye to Mr. Benjamin Vaughan, who retired from the role of headmaster and teacher here after 47 years. Mr. Vaughan’s LEGACY will continue not only through his former student, Mr. Munford, but also the countless other teachers and students that he taught, coached and impacted during his time here at Isle of Wight Academy. LEARNING, LEADERSHIP, and LEGACY are three of the foundations upon which IWA stands today. In order to maintain these foundations and continue to be “A Family Inspiring Excellence”, IWA needs the support of individuals and businesses. To each of you who have contributed to IWA, whether it be through your presence as a volunteer or through a gift to our school, I say “Thank you.” YOU are one the reasons that IWA continues to be “ A Family Inspiring Excellence.” I ask that you please consider a gift to our Annual Fund or our Building For The Future Capital Campaign.
