Graduation - Live Streaming
You have options!
ICHS Graduation: Information regarding the livestream will be shared soon.
Early Release for Students on Friday, May 23rd.
These determined young ladies have officially completed their clinical requirements for the Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) course in the state of Georgia!
They showed up to their clinicals bright and early, committing to full 8-hour shifts with dedication and perseverance. This rigorous course demanded not only consistent attendance but also mastery of hands-on skills essential for patient care.
Now, they’re one step closer to becoming state-certified CNAs. We are incredibly proud of their hard work and look forward to welcoming them into the rewarding and impactful field of healthcare!
I hope everyone enjoys the new yearbooks. They have all been passed out that have been pre-ordered. I still have some left on a first come first serve basis for $18. All yearbooks are in MINT condition and will NOT be replaced if left in a hot car.
Please share this on REMIND to tell parents the yearbooks are coming home TODAY! Thank you and have a good weekend.
Irwin County High School Alumni Spotlight: Ashley Gaskins Clines, Class of 2011
We’re proud to highlight Ashley Gaskins Clines, a 2011 graduate of Irwin County High School, whose inspiring journey of service, leadership, and dedication makes her a standout member of our alumni family.
After graduation, Ashley joined the United States Navy, where she quickly rose through the ranks with determination and excellence. Her outstanding performance earned her the prestigious title of Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) 2020 Sailor of the Year, and she currently holds the distinguished rank of Chief Petty Officer in the United States Navy—a true mark of leadership and honor.
In addition to her military success, Ahsley earned her Bachelor of Art Degree in Psychology in 2023 and continues to lead by example in both her professional and personal life. She plans to retire from the United States Navy, leaving behind a legacy of service and dedication.
Ashley is stationed in Virginia, where she lives with her husband, Michael Clines, and their two beautiful children, Summer Clines and Shiloh Clines. Her journey is a powerful example of resilience, strength, and the lasting values rooted in her Irwin County upbringing.

Irwin County High School Alumni Spotlight: Libby Hutchinson Yawn, Class of 1986
This month, we’re proud to shine the Alumni Spotlight on Libby Hutchinson Yawn, a 1986 graduate of Irwin County High School who continues to exemplify what it means to be a true Indian at heart.
Libby is widely known throughout our community as Irwin’s number one fan—always present, always cheering, and always supporting every student-athlete who steps onto a field, court, or mat. Her unwavering support goes far beyond the sidelines. As a dedicated school bus driver, Libby ensures our students travel safely and are cared for with genuine love and attention. She’s not just driving them to and from school or events—she’s forming meaningful bonds, providing encouragement, and looking after their every need.
Students know that if they don’t have anyone else in the stands, they have Ms. Libby. She holds each child accountable with care and respect, and her presence is a constant reminder that every student matters. Her support is not just felt—it’s known.
Outside of her commitment to Irwin County Schools, Libby enjoys a full and loving life with her husband of nearly 30 years, Gary Yawn. Together, they have three children—Adam, Daniel, and Diana—and four grandchildren who bring joy to their lives: Brayden, Addie, Bubba, and Genni.
Libby Hutchinson Yawn’s dedication, love for our students, and enduring school spirit make her a true example of what it means to be part of the Irwin County family. We are proud to honor her as our Alumni Spotlight!
Our Annual College & Military Signing Day will be May 14th @ 9:15am! Please encourage your Senior to sign up using the Google Form that Mrs. Mullis emailed to the class.
