The Indian Trail Academy is a public high school in Kenosha, Wisconsin, part of the Kenosha Unified School District. In addition to the core subjects, students choose to emphasize one of three themes: Biotechnology and Environmental Studies, Business and International Studies or Communications.

In 2002, the Kenosha Military Academy was created within the school.

Indian Trail Academy also has a Dodgeball game, a soccer team, and flag football.

Indian Trail Academy has a daily school news broadcast, which airs every morning at 9:00am. Matthew Hodson and Jordan Falduto are the executive producers of the show.

Eric Niemi and Eric Augustine are the leaders of Socrates Cafe, while Jeff Renaud and Jordan Falduto are the leaders of Games Club. Matthew Hodson is the leader of the Kearb Order.

Since the 2005-2006 school year, Indain Trail Academy has recieved a poorly justified reputation among the other high schools of Kenosha Unified. The suicides of a few students led to controversies of "suicide clubs" where emotionally distressed children would take their lives in an organized manner. This subsequentially led to it being dubbed "Suicide High" for months after its last tragedy. All efforts have been made to disprove these theories. And indeed, in the 2006-2007 school year, only one child from ITA chose to take their life. Hope continues that the unfortunate trend of the past years are only statistics of the much wider problem of child suicides in America.
