Title III Distinguished School District Award Winner Named

The Indiana Department of Education has named Hamilton Southeastern Schools the recipient of the 2018-2019 Title III Distinguished Indiana School District Award. The department says it chose the district for demonstrating a commitment to English Learner success.
