Janie Ulmer, currently Administrator at Hamilton Southeastern-Fishers Academy, has been named the new principal of Hamilton Southeastern (HSE) High School. The HSE school board approved the appointment Wednesday night.
The Hamilton Southeastern-Fishers Academy is a program Ulmer helped launch in 2017. The academy has since served more than 300 students and maintained a graduation rate of 90 percent. Before coming to HSE Schools, Ulmer was the Director of Virtual Learning for La Porte Community Schools for students in grades 6-12.
“We thank all the individuals who were candidates for this position; they came with a variety of strengths,” said HSE Schools Superintendent Allen Bourff. “Ultimately, we selected Ms. Ulmer based on her ability to bring people around challenges and build programs to address student needs.”
Ulmer will officially begin her duties as principal next month.
