All schools within the Hamilton Southeastern School District recently received Gold Star recognition from the Indiana Department of Education. According to my news gathering partners at the Hamilton County Reporter, that news was announced by local State Representative Todd Huston (R-Fishers).
The Indiana Department of Education awards the Gold Star designation to schools that have developed a comprehensive school counseling and guidance program, and are aligned with Indiana School Counselor standards, as well as more rigorous American School Counselor Association standards.
