For over 30 years, our Academic Booster Club has helped fund special projects and supplies that are not in the regular school budget. Teachers and principals turn in wish lists, and the club works hard to grant as many as possible for our middle and high school students.
We would love your support! Parents and community members can help by joining the club or sharing new ideas to make our schools even better.

Built by community, sustained by commitment, IMPS is recognizing and honoring the founders of the Academic Booster Club who have supported our school and students for 30 years and continue to invest in the future generations of Mountaineers. The Academic Booster Club holds a distinct place in local history as the FIRST Academic Booster Club established in the State of Michigan. What began as a small group of committed community members, including Kris Andes, Elsa Brule, and Betsy Trumbell with a shared vision for strengthening academic opportunities and supporting students has fueled community and school support and has since grown into a lasting organization that continues to positively impact generations of students.
