Jackie Peil, a 2019 graduate of Hamilton Heights High School, had the winning entry for the Northern Hamilton County Chamber of Commerce’s (NHCCC) new logo design. NHCCC President Wade Wiley said Peil’s design best captured the essence of who and what the Chamber represents.
Peil was taking a graphic design class the last semester of her senior year when her Business teacher and BPA faculty advisor, Julie Oelschlager, encouraged her to enter the contest and earn extra credit by doing so.
“I was intrigued,” recalled Peil, when she first heard about the contest. “I thought it would be fun.”

Peil submitted five different designs, inspired by the Chamber primarily serving the four larger communities in the northern part of the county.
“I thought I had a shot because the designs turned out pretty good,” she added. Bonus: Peil earned $250 for being selected for the top design.
“The Chamber has a close working relationship with both schools, Hamilton Heights and Sheridan, and we look for ways to provide support back to our schools,” said Wiley, who was impressed overall with the designs submitted by students. “We were fortunate to have several great designs to consider but we felt Jackie’s logo design best represented the Chamber and Northern Hamilton County. We wish Jackie the best in her endeavors at IUPUI and we are grateful for her contributions to the community and the Chamber.”
Peil, who graduated in May, is attending IUPUI to pursue a degree in Medical Imaging Technology. She may even consider doing a little graphic design freelance work on the side.
