The 2025–2026 Yearbooks Have Arrived!

Attention IHHS Families:

Current underclassmen received their yearbooks during FLEX on Wednesday, August 19. Please note that some families opted to have their yearbooks shipped directly to their home address. Those books should have already arrived or are currently in transit.

2026 graduates may pick up their yearbooks from the IHHS front office during school hours.

Need to Purchase a Yearbook?

If you did not purchase a yearbook online but would still like a copy, a limited number of extra yearbooks are available for $89 each. Extra copies will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis upon payment.

To purchase an extra copy, please bring $89 in cash or a check payable to IHHS to Mrs. Girdler, Yearbook Advisor, in Room 221.

Extra copies will be available for purchase while supplies last.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Lauren Girdler, Yearbook Advisor.

Thank you for supporting the IHHS Yearbook!

Grief Support Groups Available to our Students

Is your child currently grieving someone? As a parent or guardian, it can be incredibly difficult to watch your child go through the pain of grief. It can be hard to know what to say or do or how you might help your child feel better. Thankfully, Indian Hill Schools partners with Companions on a Journey (COJ), a grief support organization that facilitates grief support groups at school, during the school day!

COJ is committed to journeying with grieving individuals to help them feel less alone and to help them feel like someone understands what they are going through. COJ's grief groups are one time per month, and each group includes an activity and engaging discussion. It is free to participate, and students can join anytime throughout the school year. If you are interested in learning more or would like to sign your student up for a grief support group, please contact the school counselor.

Updated Traffic Flow

To improve safety and provide greater clarity for car riders and students with parking passes, we have updated the traffic patterns and pavement markings in the Indian Hill High School parking lot.

Please Note: The lane closest to the athletic fields is a one-way lane traveling toward the school building.

We appreciate your attention to these changes as we work together to ensure a safe and efficient arrival and dismissal process!
