Other communities near Fishers have a tradition of hosting a district-wide celebration to mark the start of a school year. In 2022, Hamilton Southeastern Schools hosted their first Before the Bell event at the downtown Nickel Plate Amphitheater, involving the entire district and more.
The weather was perfect, which helped draw a big crowd, visiting booths from each school in the district.
Students first day of classes will be Wednesday, August 3rd.
