Rooted


What a beautiful fall tree now gracing the Village Green at Indian Hill Middle School, as our building plays host to our district tree showcasing what our Brave Team members are ROOTED in this school year! Student-centered, always! We can't wait to add our leaves to this tree and watch it continue to GROW as it travels down Drake Road! We'll share pictures and updates as this display evolves at the Middle School.


Make sure you are following @ihmiddlebraves to see its progress!


Annual Global Potluck Dinner - TONIGHT


All are welcome to this family friendly evening! We would love to see you in the High School Cafeteria for this community wide event.


Tickets are $15/ family in advance or $20/family at the door.

Braves Council Winter Hat and Glove Drive


Braves Council will be conducting a winter hat and glove drive starting now and running through Friday, December 11.


 Items can be dropped off at the Village Green any morning before school.

The drive will benefit Freestore Foodbank.


What we are collecting:

  • Gently used hats and gloves are welcome, as long as they are in good condition.
  • Please keep gloves clipped together or place them in a bag so they don't get separated.

Thank you for your support!

Braves Future- Class of 2031 Part Two


IHHS is excited to once again offer Braves Future, an experience designed especially for our eighth-grade students as they begin looking ahead to their transition to Indian Hill High School. Part Two will take place on November 20, this is for current 8th graders only, please see the details below, thanks!


Part Two: Experience IHHS — Campus, Faculty & Academics

Friday, November 20 – Afternoon

Indian Hill High School


Students will get a chance to tour the IHHS campus and connect with our faculty and staff. This will be a great opportunity for our eighth graders to experience the high school firsthand while learning about the academic offerings and opportunities they will be able to take advantage of throughout their next four years.

As an added part of the experience, our eighth graders will enjoy their first high school lunch in the IHHS cafeteria! If your student is interested in purchasing lunch that day, please make sure their MySchoolBucks account is up to date prior to the visit.
