Indian Hill Exempted Village School District
Class of 2012
We Are and Always Will be the Braves!

Dear Parents,
I am pleased to present the Class of 2012 profile. This class has many accomplishments,
interests, and talents that have been nurtured, developed, recognized, and celebrated over
the course of their high school career.
Their hard work, initiative, perseverance, creativity, and tenacity have been rewarded with the
promise of unlimited opportunities at colleges and universities across the country, the armed
services, or enrollment in specialized post-secondary programs.
Parents and family, teachers, counselors, coaches, and our entire school community are
proud of the Class of 2012 for what they have accomplished. We are proud of their academic
achievements, their athletic prowess, and their skill in visual and performing arts. We are
proud of the questions they ask, the languages they understand and speak, the essays they
wrote, the complex mathematical equations they can solve, and the history, literature, and
scientific principles they understand and apply across multiple settings.
We have all witnessed their growth in assuming greater responsibility and growth in
character as they strive to become persons of integrity, courage, compassion, generosity, and
resourcefulness. We are very proud of these young men and women’s generous spirit and the
kindness and compassion we have seen them extend to others. The Class of 2012 completed
over 23,000 hours of community service. Their volunteer efforts on behalf of many noble and
important causes, made a difference in the lives of others.
The Indian Hill Exempted Village School has a clear mission: develop each student’s
maximum potential; prepare students to successfully compete on a global stage with a
command of 21st century skill; and facilitate student’s growth on their path to responsible
citizenship, leadership, and service to others. As you read through this profile you will see a
multitude of achievements and awards of the Class of 2012 that exemplify that our District’s
mission is being accomplished including the following:
•Newsweek ranked Indian Hill High School as one of the top 55 high schools in the U.S. for
the second consecutive year based upon college readiness.
•The Class of 2012 includes seven National Merit Finalists and thirteen National Merit
Commended students.
•Thirty-five percent of the Class of 2012 were accepted at Barron’s Most Competitive Colleges
and Universities and twenty-eight percent were accepted to the US News and World Report’s
top 25 colleges.
Congratulations to the Class of 2012 and their families.
Jane R. Knudson, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools
“My hope for each of you is that you will lead others by your own best example.
Be humble and kind. Be dependable and do what you say you will do, even if
it means unexpected sacrifice. Earn and maintain the trust of others by being
honest and an individual of impeccable integrity. Be of value to others and your
success will surely follow. Let your actions be a reflection of your knowledge and
the strength of your character and be actions which your family, your school,
and your country will be able to point to in the future with great pride. “
Jane Knudson, Ed.D.

AP Scholar with Distinction - Granted to students who receive an average grade of at least 3.5 on all
AP Exams, and grades of 3 or higher on five or more of these exams.
“You are a class that has had to tackle many obstacles, but you have
been able to weather the storm and persevere through the trials and
tribulations that this world has handed you. I believe Henry Ford stated
it eloquently by saying:”
“Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress and
working together is success.”
Antonio Shelton, Ed.D.
Principal, Indian Hill High School

“In many ways, this reminds me of my freshman year of Mock Trial when we learned that
Currahee means “We stand alone together.” That is what Indian Hill is all about. Some of
us have been here for thirteen years, others of us for two years, and anywhere in between.
Regardless of the number of years, we are all part of the class of 2012. Even as we go separate
ways next year, we will continue to act as one with the Indian Hill mentality. We have the
ability to think outside of the box, the strength to rely on our unique skills, and the wisdom to
accept and ask for help when it is needed.”

“I would like to thank all of the parents and teachers who have supported us
through all of the ups and downs that high school and life have had to offer. …
We all know that we would not be standing where we are today without their
help. Our teachers have and always will care about us, and now it is our turn to
repay the countless favors they have done for us by excelling at the next level and
continuing on our path to greatness.”
