The High School for Innovation in Advertising and Media

🎓✨ A Historic First at IAM!

We proudly hosted our first-ever National Honor Society Induction Ceremony, celebrating 40 outstanding scholars from the Classes of 2026, 2027, and 2028 for their academic excellence, leadership, service, and character. 🌟📚

This milestone marks a new chapter of academic distinction at IAM — and we’re just getting started!

A heartfelt thank you to NYC Council Member Mercedes Narcisse for attending and supporting our scholars on this special occasion. Your presence meant the world to our students and families. 💙💛

🖼️💡 Real-World Design. Real Impact.

Our IAM student creatives were given an exciting challenge straight from the top: rebrand the office of Dr. Noah Angeles, the new Superintendent for the New Visions High School District!

📍 With schools across all 5 boroughs represented, students designed a visual identity that celebrates the diversity, energy, and unity of the district.

✨ But this wasn’t just a class project—
🔹 Students designed the artwork
🔹 Printed on our in-house large format printers
🔹 Mounted it themselves across the superintendent’s entire office

This was more than design—it was a full-scale branding activation by the next generation of creative professionals.

We’re proud to be shaping the spaces where leadership happens! 🏙️✊

🎉 Middle School Recruitment continues at IAM!

Today, we proudly welcomed students from Restoration Academy and I.S. 935 to experience a day in the life at IAM — and they did not disappoint! 💥

Our young visitors dove into this year’s Arizona Creative Brief Challenge:
🎨 Designing new bottle labels for Arizona Iced Tea
🎶 Producing AI-generated jingles
📱 Creating TikTok videos built to go viral

The creativity and energy these students brought were next-level! Can’t wait to see some of them return as future IAM scholars. 🙌

🎉 It’s that time of year again… Middle School Recruitment is in full swing at IAM!

We kicked things off in true IAM style — big thanks to The School of Media and Fine Art, Parkside Academy, and Mott Hall Bridges Academy for visiting! 👏

This year’s challenge? A single creative brief from Arizona Iced Tea 🍹
💡 Students are:

We can’t wait to see what these future creatives come up with! 💥

Schools will be closed on Tuesday and Wednesday in observance of Rosh Hashanah. Classes will resume on Thursday.

🚀 This week, IAM students officially kicked off their summer work experience through our school-based Career Ready SYEP program!

🎥💻 From producing commercials and designing websites to developing full-scale ad and marketing campaigns, our young creatives (ages 14–16+) are gaining hands-on experience with real-world clients.

Big thanks to and for making this possible and empowering the Canarsie community through opportunity and innovation! 💼🌟

Happy Independence Day!
