Noblesville High School (NHS) has been nationally recognized for the fifth year as a Project Lead the Way (PLTW) Distinguished School for providing a multitude of STEM programming for students. NHS is one of only two high schools in Indiana to receive the five-time recognition, ranking them in the top 1% group nationally. Noblesville Schools offers 16 different PLTW courses for middle and high school students including robotics, biomedical, cybersecurity and aerospace engineering classes. It is also one of only a few districts in the state to offer PLTW for younger students, with elementary-aged children exploring flight, energy and robotics.

NHS junior Mackenna Johnson is participating in a first-of-its-kind high school program to give her a head start on college teacher certification. The program is the nation’s first federally registered apprenticeship program in special education. It partners Noblesville Schools with the Hamilton County Pursuit Institute, Ivy Tech, Ball State, and the Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville (BGCN). Johnson is working at the BGCN to gain hands-on experience. She will graduate from college one year early with a bachelor’s degree in elementary education, and a special-education concentration.

In 2022, Noblesville Schools received a Best Communities for Music Education honor from the National Association of Music Merchants Foundation for the seventh consecutive time. The national music education recognition showcases school districts’ outstanding efforts by teachers, administrators, parents, students and community leaders in embracing music education. Districts Noblesville Schoolswere selected based on music funding, staffing of highly qualified music teachers, commitment to standards, and access to music instruction.

The district’s motto for its students is “Going Places,” and that theme is reflected in the success of the students. The Class of 2022 earned a record-setting $6.3 million in scholarships including four full-ride scholarships. More than 300 students had a GPA of 3.5 or above.

“Our commitment to academic excellence, strong connection to our hometown community, accomplished staff, and state-of-the-art facilities are important elements of our school spirit,” says Dr. Daniel Hile, superintendent. “We love introducing newcomers to our over 300 teams, clubs and organizations, as these are great ways for new students to make friends and feel connected. Many of these groups are recognized regularly at state and national competitions for their accomplishments.”

Noblesville Schools leaders know financial transparency is critical to taxpayers. They have decreased the tax rate for the fourth year and avoided increased costs through benefit-plan management. The school system is financially sound with a balanced budget, high credit rating, low interest rates, secure savings and strong bond capacity.

“At Noblesville Schools we offer hundreds of academic opportunities, extracurriculars and resources to best prepare students for wherever their dreams and goals may take them,” Hile says. “Going to Noblesville Schools means our students are going places.”
