Important Updates on Club and Activity Registration –

Final Forms Information


Final Forms will officially open on Thursday, September 25, 2025, for parents/guardians to register their child for club and activity participation for the 2025–2026 school year. All students will attend our Club and Activity Fair on Wednesday, September 24, during FLEX, where they will hear directly from student leaders and advisors about available opportunities.


Parent/Guardian Instructions for Club Sign-Up

Please review the Parent Walkthrough Instructions  for step-by-step guidance on how to add your student to a group’s official roster.

To ensure a smooth process for club advisors, we kindly ask that parents confirm their student’s interest before completing registration on Final Forms.



Important Notes

  • Registering for a club or activity on Final Forms does not replace the need for high school students to stay informed. Throughout the year, students should continue to:
  • Regularly check their Class of Page for club/activity announcements.
  • Make it a habit to view our school video boards, in which meeting dates and reminders will be posted.
  • Be intentional about listening to daily morning announcements for club communications and updates.
  • The latest Club and Activity Handbook will be posted to your child’s "Class of Page" shortly after the Fair. This handbook will provide the names of each club’s advisor or adult sponsor, who should be contacted with any questions after the Fair.

ATTENTION BRAVES NATION!

HOMECOMING IS TODAY!



Get ready—Homecoming 2025 is here, and it’s going to be bigger and better than ever!

We invite all Indian Hill families to join the excitement by lining Drake Road between Indian Hill Primary and Indian Hill High School for our 

Annual Homecoming Parade on Friday, 9/19, from 5:45–6:10 p.m.!


The parade will bring all the school spirit you love—featuring HS clubs, sports teams, Superintendent Koennecke, our Board of Education, last year’s ES/PS EduHeros, and some of our incredible Indian Hill Youth Athletic Programs. And yes—there will be plenty of candy for everyone cheering along the route!


Heads up! Drake Road will close at 5:30 p.m., so plan to arrive early to catch all the action. For everyone’s safety, please remain off the road during the parade.


After the parade, the celebration continues at Tomahawk Stadium, where our HS Football Game kicks off at 7:00 p.m. as we take on Mariemont HS.



We can’t wait to see you there—let’s make this Homecoming one to remember!

Be the Difference Day


On Tuesday, October 28, all sophomores will participate in our annual Be the Difference Day experience. This is a powerful, high-energy program in which students, alongside adult volunteers, engage in a series of experiential learning activities. The goals of the program are to foster connection, strengthen personal empowerment and self-acceptance, shift negative peer pressure into positive peer support, and eliminate the acceptability of bullying, violence, and all forms of stigma. Ultimately, the program is designed to unite members of our school and community in carrying forward a message of respect and care for all.


Through storytelling by Be the Difference Day presenters, small-group discussions, and large-group interactive activities, students and adult volunteers discover how much we share in common as human beings, rather than focusing on what sets us apart.


While students will miss a traditional day of classes, this day is dedicated to building connections, strengthening our school community, and encouraging personal growth. It is always a powerful and transformative experience.

If you have any questions about Be the Difference Day, please feel free to contact your student's counselor.
