Hamilton Southeastern Schools announced record graduation outcomes for the Class of 2025, with nearly all seniors earning diplomas and the district posting its highest graduation rate to date.

According to district data, 98.8 percent of students in the Class of 2025 graduated, marking the strongest overall performance in HSE Schools history.

At Fishers High School, 878 of 880 seniors earned diplomas, resulting in a 99.66 percent graduation rate. Hamilton Southeastern High School reported a 97.99 percent graduation rate, with 879 of 897 seniors completing their high school requirements.

District officials said the results place both high schools well above Indiana’s overall graduation rate and among the top-performing schools in Central Indiana.

“Graduation is a milestone that reflects years of effort, support, and growth,” Superintendent Patrick Mapes said in a statement. “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.”

HSE Schools reported strong graduation outcomes across all student groups, including English Language Learners, Exceptional Learners, and students who qualify for free and reduced-price meals.

District leaders attributed the record-setting graduation rate to a combination of academic programming, student support services, and an emphasis on postsecondary planning. Officials said the district continues to focus on preparing students for a range of pathways, including college, career training, military service, and direct entry into the workforce.
