My #IHPromise – to foster intellectual curiosity and critical thinking as part of an educational experience that breeds collegiality, innovation, and awareness.

 

I couldn’t think of a better way to start each morning than standing outside the high school’s front doors alongside Mr. Damadeo greeting students as they enter the building! We hope that from the outset of their day our students feel truly invested in! We commit our time, energy, and resources to forge positive relationships with our students and want them to feel valued, supported, and respected as part of a positive, trusting, and thriving culture.  

Indian Hill High School is simply an incredible place, and having the opportunity to see the great work in our classrooms reflects the collective vibrancy brought forth by our students and staff as part of the fruition of our students’ educational experience within the district. Being a Brave means being offered the luxury and responsibility of an environment in which students, staff, and stakeholders motivate one another to be innovative, explorative, and empathetic to the world around them while overcoming adversity to sustain excellence.
