University High School of Indiana

IMAGINE A PLACE where teenagers are accepted and respected for who they are, where teachers are as friendly and approachable as they are qualified and educated, where every student visitor is greeted with an enthusiastic round of applause. Imagine a place where students and teachers openly treat one another with respect, support, and trust. Imagine a place where students are not only preparing for and looking toward college — plus earning millions of dollars in merit scholarships — but are also living meaningful lives today. This Place Is University High School.

University has become a premier college preparatory school in Central Indiana. Signature programs like one-to-one mentoring, daily community meetings, and January Term create the unique culture of our school, our faculty are recognized as leaders in their content areas and in the practice of education, and several schools, some much older than us, are looking to University for inspiration in an increasing complex educational landscape. And, to aid in all our work, University has a tremendous asset: its heart.

The entrepreneurial spirit that founded University is as alive today as it was at the school’s inception. We continue to blaze new trails centered on the idea of student engagement. Our alumni consistently speak of how well-prepared University made them, for college and for life. And, most importantly, University’s consistent focus on reflection and personal growth remains the driving force behind our ability to change, to adapt, and to grow. Our journey into being has been remarkable, and the potential for our future is tremendous.

The mission of University High School is to EXPAND THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF STUDENTS and to nurture excellence through academic, creative, and physical achievement. The six core values of University High School are as follows:

• Diversity
• Commitment to excellence
• Commitment to personal responsibility
• Creativity
• Stewardship
• Mutual respect, support, and trust
