HSE Schools See several Administrative Changes as Operations Chief Resigns

Bryan Rausch

Hamilton Southeastern Schools is set to lose a top district administrator and reshuffle leadership at several buildings, according to personnel items on the agenda for Wednesday night’s HSE School Board meeting.

Brian Rausch, HSE’s Assistant Superintendent of Operations, is resigning effective July 23, according to a recommended action before the board. Rausch joined the district in July 2024, meaning his departure comes almost two years after he arrived. The Assistant Superintendent of Operations oversees the district’s non-instructional backbone — areas that typically include facilities, transportation, safety and business operations serving HSE’s roughly 22,000 students across Fishers and the surrounding area.

Also stepping down is Brian Behrman, Principal at Fishers Elementary, who is resigning his position based on an item on the school board agenda.

Several other personnel moves on the agenda would reshape administrative teams across the district:

  • Trae Heeter is resigning as Assistant Principal at Southeastern Elementary.
  • Andrea Abel is being hired as Assistant Principal at HSE High School.
  • Katrina Curry will become Assistant Principal at Fall Creek Junior High.
  • Rachael Powell will move from a fourth-grade teaching position to Assistant Principal at Southeastern Elementary.

Personnel actions such as these are recommended by district administration and take effect upon approval by the HSE School Board. Together, the items reflect a busy stretch of summer transition for the district as it settles building and central-office leadership ahead of the 2026–27 school year.
