When Fishers High School senior Sabrina Alberty was called to the principal’s office, she didn’t expect the life-changing news waiting for her. Surrounded by school staff and supporters, Sabrina learned she had been named a 2025 Lilly Endowment Community Scholar – a moment she describes as unforgettable.

“It was crazy,” Alberty said. “I walked in, and all these people were there. I was definitely surprised, but it felt amazing.”

“Fishers does such a good job of letting you explore extracurriculars like the arts while still taking challenging classes,” she said. “I’m so grateful for those opportunities.”

Interim Principal Kyle Goodwin celebrated Alberty’s commitment to excellence: “Sabrina has been a role model for our students, demonstrating a remarkable balance of academic rigor, artistic passion, and service to others. She is incredibly deserving of this scholarship.”

Looking ahead, Alberty plans to attend Purdue University to study civil or environmental engineering. For students dreaming of similar success, she offers this advice: “Do as much as you can and pursue what you’re passionate about. Passion leads to great opportunities and amazing experiences.”
