As a school whose mission it is to inspire citizenship in its students, Independence is proud to support those who are inspired to serve as first responders for our community. Students who have one or both parents who are actively employed full-time as first responders in law enforcement, fire protection, in a capacity as an emergency medical technician (EMT) or in the armed forces, are eligible to receive a discount towards tuition during each year of enrollment.

Please contact Michele Harra, Director of Advancement & Enrollment Management, 302-239-0332 for more information on the First Responders Community Partnership and the admission process.

Claymont Steak Shop and DonutNV food trucks will be available starting at 4:45 p.m. Thank you for supporting them!
