WELCOME TO Indian Hill High School

A Message From Principal Jeff Damadeo

Our IHHS team – from the secretaries, counselors, teachers, paraprofessionals, custodians, food service members, to the administrative team – is committed to one goal … the creation and cultivation of our students’ dreams. Indian Hill High School is truly a place where dreams are discovered. That is our #IHPromise to you.

Collectively, we provide our students with exceptional educational services, both inside the classroom and beyond. Rooted within our mission, our six pillars – leadership, integrity, pride, excellence, respect, and opportunity – help to create a framework that focuses on the holistic education of each scholar and ensures we are inspiring tomorrow’s leaders and globally competent citizens.

Through these pages, you will see a snapshot of what it means to be an Indian Hill High School Brave. We look forward to sharing our story with you. Together, we continue to dream without limits and create new, innovative opportunities towards transformational learning and excellence. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly.

And remember … We are and always will be BRAVES!
