NHS ON NATIONAL MUSIC STAGE

Noblesville High School jazz and orchestra students have both been invited to perform on the national stage at upcoming events!

The top NHS jazz band will open for the legendary Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra for their performance at the Palladium on January 27th. Go HERE for more information about how you can see the show.

Noblesville High School was also the only orchestra in the state to land a spot in the prestigious 2025 Music for All National Festival. They will perform March 15 at the Palladium. Go HERE for more information on this event.

Former Noblesville Schools superintendent Dr. John Ellis (right) toured the high school recently with Superintendent Dr. Dan Hile (left). Ellis served from 1992-2004 and built the high school in 1996. A lot has changed since that time, including the large number of students the building now serves, and the wide variety of classes and opportunities available.

During the superintendent tour, Ellis learned about the new STEM and performing arts expansion currently under construction at NHS. Shown here is a recent rendering of the new cafe that will be part of the project, providing additional needed lunch space for students.
