Submitted by HSE Schools

Graduation outcomes for the Class of 2025 show Hamilton Southeastern Schools students completing their high school journey at exceptionally high rates, with nearly every senior earning a diploma. This year’s results represent the highest overall graduation rate in district history at 98.8 percent.

At Fishers High School, 99.66 percent of seniors graduated, with 878 of 880 students earning a diploma. Hamilton Southeastern High School achieved a 97.99 percent graduation rate, with 879 of 897 students successfully earning diplomas.

These results place both HSE high schools well above the state’s overall graduation rate and among the highest-performing high schools in Central Indiana.

“Graduation is a milestone that reflects years of effort, support, and growth,” Superintendent Patrick Mapes said. “These outcomes speak to the commitment of our students and the work of our educators to ensure students are supported and prepared for what comes next.”

Graduation success was seen across all student groups, including English Language Learners, Exceptional Learners, and students qualifying for free and reduced-price meals, reflecting strong outcomes districtwide.

District leaders attribute the record-setting graduation rate to strong academic programming, student supports, and a continued focus on meaningful postsecondary pathways, including college, career, military service, and workforce readiness.
