With a new school board in office for more than a year and a new school superintendent hired, many top administrators have chosen to leave the Hamilton Southeastern (HSE) School District, which means new administrators come on board.  HSE Schools announced 3 major hires this week.

Tige Butts will be the new principal at Fishers Junior High School.  He replaces Crystal Thorpe, who left HSE for a central office position with nearby Washington Township Schools.  Butts has played an integral part at FJH since its inception in 1999, starting as a health educator and advancing to assistant principal in 2005.

Drew Tower has been hired as Athletic Director of Hamilton Southeastern High School. Tower is replacing Greg Habegger, who is retiring at the end of the 2023-24 school year. Habegger has served as Athletic Director alongside Jim Self for the past 19 years.  Tower comes to HSE from Brownsburg High School where he has served as Athletic Director since 2018.

Finally, Bryan Rausch is poised to take the HSE Assistant Superintendent of Operations post in July.  Since 2008, Rausch has served as superintendent of Liberty-Perry Community Schools located in Selma, Indiana. During his tenure, Rausch implemented systems and procedures to manage changing student demographics and increases in enrollment.
