History

The original Fishers High School was located at Lantern Road and 116th Street, where the current Fishers Elementary School stands,[2] but the school was demolished in 1969 after the opening of Hamilton Southeastern High School. In 2003, the current school opened as a freshman campus but, in 2007, the school opened a second wing which allowed for grades 9–12 to occupy the building.[3] A third wing was completed following the end of the 2015 school year as a College and Career Academy.[4]
