The Hamilton Southeastern (HSE) School District has been known as mostly a Fishers school system. It takes in the entire city of Fishers, unincorporated areas of Fall Creek and Delaware Townships as well as all of Wayne Township.
The City of Noblesville projects that it will be expanding east into Wayne Township, meaning what had been a rural area will see population growth as development moves in that direction.
For that reason, Noblesville Mayor Chris Jensen and members of his staff addressed the HSE School Board on his city’s plans that will impact HSE Schools. Jensen projects that in the coming 5-10 years, the population of Noblesville will double in size, with most of that growth happening within the HSE School District.
HSE is constructing a new school within the current boundaries of Noblesville at 156th Street and Boden Road, named Deer Creek Elementary. Jensen reviewed the commercial development and other infrastructure improvement plans for that area of the city.
HSE Superintendent Allen Bourff asked how Noblesville will work with Fishers on providing School Resource Officers, sworn police stationed at schools. Chad Knecht, Director of Public Safety for Noblesville, said his staff will work with Fishers for consistency in providing School Resource officers to HSE Schools.
Joining Mayor Jensen and Knecht in speaking before the school board were Deputy Mayor Matt Light and Sarah Reed, Community & Economic Development Director
It is time for Wayne Township to be a part of the Noblesville Schools not HSE. It would be better for all. We are not a rural School District like it was was HSE was formed.
Only if you want to see your property values decrease. I just bought land in this area and am building a home and small farmstead. But I’d have never done it if it wasn’t part of HSE schools.
A lot of people who live in this part of Noblesville chose it because it’s HSE. I am one of those people.
