Parent Meeting
We are excited to invite you to the Fishers High School Academic Planning Night on January 14, 2027!
This event is open to all FHS families and will feature breakout sessions on a variety of topics, including scholarships, financial aid and Career and Technical Education opportunities, among others. It promises to be an incredible evening for learning about the academic pathways and resources available to your student.
As part of this whole-school event, we want to extend a special invitation to a breakout session specifically designed for families of current juniors pursuing the IB Diploma. This IB Programme Information Session will take place in Room H136 during the first breakout session from 6:00–6:50 PM. During this session, you’ll gain insight into the requirements, benefits, and opportunities offered through the IB Programme, as well as the steps your student is taking to earn the IB Diploma. We strongly encourage you to attend this session to ensure you have all the information necessary to support your student in this exciting academic journey!
Senior Scheduling
IB Coordinators will meet with students in January 2027 to finalize senior year schedules.
Cost of IB Diploma Path
There is a $140 fee per IB assessment. With IB Diploma students needing to take 7 IB assessments in their program path, we have created an IB Diploma package of $800 to cover all of the IB assessments for an IB Diploma student. All IB Diploma students and their families have been sent a bill for the cost of the assessments, including a two-year payment plan.
Questions? Reach out to IB coordinator, Sarah Riordan at sriordan@hse.k12.in.us.
