The Hamilton Southeastern Schools are planning graduation ceremonies at the two high schools respective football stadiums – July 10 for HSE High School and July 11 for Fishers – but it appears the Fishers Health Department has requested the school corporation “reconsider” its current plans for the ceremonies.

In a Facebook post overnight by Hamilton Southeastern School Board President Michelle Fullhart, she says the department of health “has requested HSE Schools reconsider plans for graduation at both high schools due to social distancing concerns. Conversations are ongoing at this time and more information will be released as it becomes available.”

The post by Fullhart is not specific about what issues the health department has listed as concerns over graduation.  She did state HSE High School seniors have received a survey with “potential alternatives” to the current graduation plans, but also says other options outside the survey are being considered.

“Please be patient as the district partners with the local health department to finalize an option that will work best for the needs of our community and our seniors,” Fullhart wrote in her Facebook post.

LarryInFishers began receiving questions on this Friday evening, and I reached out to both the City of Fishers and HSE School administration for comment and further details.  Once those responses are received, this story will be updated.
