Principal's Message



Welcome to Innovation Academy!! We here at IA are thrilled to teach, engage, and work with young people so that they can experience their truest potential.  

IA is a warm and welcoming school that provides education in an individualized project based fashion.  The dedicated staff has created a culture of excellence and achievement that makes the building feel more like a second home than an actual school.  Our students earn a state certified Howell Public Schools high school diploma through our individualized curriculum. We here at IA value the whole student  and work to ensure that all of their needs are met.  

If you are interested in a new educational journey please call me at (517) 234-6489 or email me at [email protected]

Sincerely,

John LaGalo

Principal of Innovation Academy
