IN LOVING MEMORY: DR. EDMOND TOHME

We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of IC’s former Deputy President, Dr. Edmond Tohme, on March 27, 2023. Tohme was a truly remarkable individual who played a pivotal role in keeping IC open during the civil war.
Tohme held many various posts at IC, including Director of Admissions, Dean of Students, Associate Director at the Middle school, Director of the Secondary School, Executive Vice President, and Deputy President. He was also the recipient of the National Order of the Cedar Award. Throughout the war years, he showed incredible courage and leadership. He became part of a core group of administrators making difficult decisions and taking bold actions to keep our school running during a time of great turmoil and uncertainty.
Edmond (Eddie) Tohme initially came to IC as a boarding student before traveling to the US to pursue his studies. After completing his master’s degree at Stanford University, he returned to Lebanon for a visit and was offered a position teaching philosophy and counseling at the school’s secondary level. Tohme accepted the offer and canceled his plans to return to the US.
UN Grand Homme: noble , juste, professionnel qu’on ne peut que respecter et se sentir honnorée de travailler sous sa direction.
Il a toujours su appriécier les gens à leur juste valeur.
Je n’oublierais jamais quand j’ai reçu la 1ère le prix qui porte son nom et que j’ai été pour lui parler après la cérémonie, il m’a dit : “Amal tu mérites hautement cette reconnaissance pour tous les services rendus à la section française de l’IC mais surtout aussi pour ton professionnalisme et ton intégrité.
C’est hélas le peu dont je me rappelle de notre conversation.
Que son âme repose en paix .
C’est comme tu l’as si bien dit Mona une perte sèche pour l’IC car après lui, personne n’a pu l’égaler.
Ta mémoire restera à jamais gravée dans nos coeurs et nos esprits.
Adieu Mr. Tohmé!
Amal ChararaIt would be a decision that would greatly impact the future of the school. Tohme and his colleagues were responsible for making critical decisions about whether to hold classes in the face of ongoing battles and conflicts. They frequently confronted and pushed out armed militia groups entering the campus grounds.
Still, IC opened its doors.
“We had always thought it couldn’t get worse, but the pit seems bottomless, and we sink lower as time goes on… No matter what happens, I cannot imagine a country without schools for very long; I cannot imagine a country without children going to school, and I cannot imagine the Lebanese, no matter the hardships, settling for less than quality education. For that, our efforts are still worthwhile,” he stated in Annual Report to the Board of Trustees 1988-89.
Je reçois comme un choc cette triste nouvelle, bien que tout le monde eût vent de sa longue et pénible maladie. Car, un homme ( au vrai sens du terme ) tel que Edmond Tohmé, il n’en existe plus dans notre pays meurtri. Son intégrité, sa classe, sa grande tolérance, il les a emportées avec lui. Je n’oublierai jamais nos discussions en matière de pédagogie ou de relations humaines.
Il tenait à conserver à chacun sa place jusqu’à preuve du contraire. Profondément humain et respectueux, il ne tolérait aucune injustice et cela augmentait notre admiration. L’IC se doit d’être fier d’avoir été dirigé par Edmond Tohmé!
Jessy KobeissaWith the untimely death of then-IC President Alton Reynolds, Tohme assumed the role of Deputy President and continued the search for a new campus location on the east side of the country. In 1987, he finally settled on a site with breathtaking views to build an ‘extension’ campus of IC in the picturesque village of Ain Aar. A year later, the Ain Aar campus opened its doors.
Tohme received several job offers throughout the war. He had always refused, firmly believing that IC needed him. Regarded as a sophisticated and refined man who spoke deliberately and thoughtfully, he earned the admiration of numerous educators over the years.
“I have been trying to and trying very hard to approach your ‘silent wisdom,’” said Mona Shbaklo as she accepted the Edmond Tohme Award in 2008. “Have I succeeded?”
A 1999 Torch tribute for his retirement described him as “a rare combination of powerful presence, sharp intellect, ethic professionalism, pleasant company, and great humility; his tendency to shy away from the limelight adds to his quiet strength.” (Sana Haydar).
Other remarks praised him as an exemplary leader. “Many things have been said about Eddie’s wisdom and vision in the way he guided IC during the worst days of the war. However, I saw during my long working experience with him the other face, that of the shy, discrete, humble, patient, and most of all helpful and humane person.” (Yussuf Korfali, Torch 1999)
Today, the Edmond Tohme Outstanding Educator Award recognizes an outstanding IC educator whose teaching and/or administrative career has been marked by significant contributions to IC’s mission and objectives.
Thank you, “Eddie,” for your dedication and love to IC.
May you rest in peace.
Tout le monde connaît Mr. Tohmé le philosophe, l’érudit qui a dirigé notre IC avec sagesse durant les années les plus difficiles de son histoire. Mais rares sont ceux qui connaissent le côté humain de ce grand homme et que j’admirais beaucoup chez lui.
Permettez moi à ce sujet de vous raconter une entrevue que j’ai eue avec lui et qui m’a permis de découvrir la noblesse de ses actes et son empathie avec le corps professoral.
En effet, dans les années 90, les enseignants à mi temps ne bénéficiaient pas d’aide financière pour la scolarité de leurs enfants qui équivalait parfois à tout leur salaire comme c’était le cas de l’un de mes collègues du département. Je décidai donc d’aller en discuter avec Mr. Tohmé.
Le réglement de l’établissement ne le lui permettant pas, il n’hésita pas à lui accorder cette aide du budget qui lui était alloué en tant que président par intérim. Je ne pense pas que d’autres l’auraient fait. C’était en cela qu’il se distinguait de tous les autres.
Repose en paix.
Tous ceux qui ont eu la chance de te connaître ne t’oublieront jamais.

THE MARKS LEFT BEHIND
2022-2023





Valedictorian Speech 2023
President Peinado, Vice Presidents, Directors, Faculty, and Staff members, Esteemed guests, parents, and the lovely administration who has given me the honor of being named valedictorian, welcome.

Before I begin, I’d like to say that this is a huge honor and it was an extremely hard secret to keep, but I did it so, surprise Mom, Dad, and everyone else!
Most importantly I’d like to welcome my second family, the class of 2023!
Students hate Mondays. Why? Because it’s the day that we come back from a weekend into a week full of studying, sitting in classrooms, and waking up early, only to arrive late to school. So, imagine a little girl who hates Mondays, doesn’t want to wake up early, and has to be dragged to school. Well, that wasn’t me, I was quite the opposite. Ever since I was in preschool, I’d be punished by mandatory and upsetting vacations. These vacations were a disguise to keep me away from my family, my IC family. So I always had a huge smile when my parents would drop me off at the gates of the Ain Aar campus, because the second I stepped foot into my classroom, I was immediately greeted by my other parent, also known as my teacher.
This is when I came to realize that IC was not like most schools. No, I’m not talking about their amazing education because that goes without saying. We have four renowned programs, the Ali Ghandour Center, both student and teacher-led clubs, and top of the line educational equipment, and before I go on, no they totally didn’t force me to say this. But actually, aside from IC’s education, what differentiates it from the rest is its ability to provide its students with an environment to grow into a family. This is why my hatred for those vacations grew every year. I was deprived of seeing the home and the people who took part in shaping the person that stands in front of you today because if it was not for IC I wouldn’t be able to walk out of these doors today with no doubt in mind that I’m equipped with the skills needed to tackle whatever the future may hold. For example, the other day when someone asked me to e3rob esem majrour I was completely prepared. But in some more influential examples, IC taught me the means by which I express myself artistically, academically, and vocally. Most importantly, IC taught me how to connect with others, every single day when I’d connect with my 252 siblings, actually, 251. I’d rather not count Yahya as a sibling. This ability to connect with others was the seed that grew into my prominent involvement in initiatives in the secondary school, including the IB Festival of Hope, the Global Innovative Sustainability Summit in Qatar, tutoring public school students, volunteering in NGOs, and founding clubs. It’s this ability to connect that carries IC alumni to the top of their respective fields. And it’s this ability that will allow us to conquer the future with no hesitation. Also, these experiences wouldn’t be the same without a mentor so I’d like to express my gratitude towards Ms.Daouk for her endless support and for staying with us until the end.
While panicking over what else I should include in this speech, my school dad, Mr.Chirazi, told me that the most important thing to keep in mind is that I should be myself. Then I realized that a large part of who I am is IC. Not solely being family with the students, but connecting with larger IC as a whole.
When I unexpectedly got accepted into UC Berkeley at 2:00 am, the first people I called were my parents and my fairy Godmother, Ms.Inar. This goes to show the unwavering bond between IC and student extends past the campus borders and the school day, and no matter the situation or the time, I always feel connected to my larger family, all of IC. And that connection is only strengthened with the monumental moments that some of you had in our first promo party or our first skip day, where “someone” recklessly shaved their head in front of everyone, but I don’t think it’s appropriate to bring those moments up here.
This, to me, defined the famed IC environment and culture which sticks with alumni well into the future. The IC spirit that lights up every casual day at school. The spirit that will stick with us into our future.
When the earthquake hit, I directly opened our senior group chat. Even in that unsettling moment, looking at those messages, especially that one video that you all know I’m referring to, I began laughing uncontrollably. That properly displayed the significance of having one another to lean on, which I believe is a fundamental necessity when living in uncertainty, and is a foundational characteristic of the IC environment.
Now we are leaving that protective home and here we are in the moment that we prayed would come. As the brilliant but fictional Rory Gilmore said, “We prayed for its quick delivery, crossed days off our calendars, counted hours, minutes, and seconds, and now that it’s here I’m sorry it is”.
As we stand here today, the room is filled with several emotions: the parents who are in awe of their children growing up, the graduates who can’t believe they made it, and our administration and teachers who probably can’t believe we made it either. And I know I’m not the only one who doubted whether getting our final diploma was truly worth the sleepless nights and the hurried studying only hours before an exam. But now that we are here, I can confidently say, it is more than worth it.
At the end of the day, this speech is only a final draft that touches on the mere surface of what we’ve done to get here and what we have received from our time in IC. So thank you for all your efforts, appreciate your teachers, hug your parents because they still can’t believe you grew up, and I hope at our 10-year reunion we’ve all accomplished our goals and set new ones, and hopefully the question “aya se3a bto2ta3 el kahraba”?” and “Ade El dollar?” won’t still be as common. My one piece of advice which I feel is fit for this exact moment is, when it feels scary to jump, that is exactly when you jump otherwise you end up staying in the same place your whole life.

Now, since standing in these heels has become exceedingly uncomfortable, I will wrap up this speech by reflecting on dreading the day that I had to leave IC Ain Aar, thinking I was about to lose the family I became so close to. But now I am no longer that little girl I was, standing in front of the Ain Aar gates with my backpack filled with anticipation. I’m the young woman leaving with my back towards the Ras Beirut gates looking straight at the university I’m going to attend with a comforted feeling that no matter what the future holds, before anything we are IC graduates and we’ll be able to call IC a home forever. Finally, I know that the IC gates will always welcome me.
Congratulations to the class of 2023! Be great, be you, and be what IC taught you to be!

Un Appel au Changement par Voix Interposées
Quatre mois perdus, l’équivalent de plus d’un trimestre scolaire, et un décalage dans le programme impossible à rattraper en quelques jours.



Les journées d’école sont intenses, partagées entre examens et cours d’affilés. L’anxiété est constante et on ne pense qu’à une chose: que faire? Effectivement, les élèves du public se sont vus dans l’obligation de changer de parcours universitaire et de projet professionnel dûs aux déficits d’instruction toujours en augmentation. De même, les jeunes sont dans l’incapacité de changer d’écoles, étant donné que la base requise aux examens d’entrée fait défaut.





Néanmoins à présent, le changement est nécessaire. Les élèves ont bel et bien tenté d’améliorer la situation, mais leurs voix n’atteignent pas les autorités responsables. Lançons un appel au changement, un renouveau d’espoir!
