The Miller Success Academy is the school's alternative education program, located at the Noblesville Schools Community Center. It was created to provide individualized instruction and support for students who need a non-traditional path to graduation, ensuring they can still earn a Noblesville diploma and remain engaged members of the community.[2]
The school is part of Noblesville Schools and located at 18111 Cumberland Road on the east side of Noblesville. The campus serves much of Noblesville and has expanded several times to accommodate the city's rapid suburban growth northeast of Indianapolis.[3][4] Nearby landmarks include the Hamilton County Courthouse Square, situated about one mile southwest, Riverview Health Hospital approximately one and a half miles southwest, and Potter's Covered Bridge about one and a quarter miles north. The district encompasses multiple elementary and middle schools, with Noblesville High Schools as its sole high school.[5]
History
Campuses
Noblesville High School's earliest classes were held in the city's original Conner Street facility, reflecting the small size of the community and shared use of school buildings in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.[6] The district later relocated high school operations to the North 17th Street campus, which would eventually become Noblesville East Middle School, consolidating secondary programs on that site as Noblesville grew.[7]
By the mid-1990s, continued enrollment growth prompted construction of a new, modern high school campus on Cumberland Road; which was completed in 1996 and is where Noblesville High School operates today. The move centralized district high school programming on a larger site with room for future expansion and specialized facilities, aligning with the area's rapid suburban development.[8][9]
Facility repurposing
From the opening of the Cumberland Road campus until 2014, Noblesville housed 9th-grade freshman students at Noblesville East Middle School (the campus on Field Drive next to the high school). To unify the high school and address capacity pressures, the district added a Freshman Center in 2014, bringing all four grades together on one site and allowing Noblesville East Middle School to relocate to the previous Freshman campus.[10]
In 2014, Ivy Tech Community College opened its Hamilton County campus at the former Noblesville East Middle School building on North 17th Street, following district transitions that freed the facility for higher education use. The site underwent significant renovation, and the City of Noblesville realigned 17th Street at Conner Street to improve access to the new campus.[11]
Current growth
Recent growth has continued to drive facility improvements at the high school, including a major academic expansion completed in 2025 to support STEM and performing arts programming and general capacity needs. These investments reflect the district's long-term strategy to expand the existing high school rather than construct a second campus, keeping the student body unified while accommodating enrollment increases.[12]

Noblesville High School offers a comprehensive curriculum featuring regular and dual-creditcourses, including Advanced Placement (AP). Each subject has its own department which is overseen by a chairperson:[13]

Recognition
Noblesville has been recognized nationally as a top 1% STEM school, with students able to choose from more than a dozen applied STEM courses emphasizing hands-on, real-world applications.[13]
The school's music program has been honored as part of a Best Communities for Music Education designation, offering more than 25 courses in choir, orchestra, jazz band, marching band, and music history. Noblesville also operates one of Indiana's largest student internship programs, connecting seniors with local businesses and organizations to gain professional experience before graduation.[14]
All students are assigned a study hall during Block 8, though juniors and seniors with strong academic standing and parental approval may leave campus during that time. Some students may also be assigned an additional study hall on Black Days.
Students who meet eligibility criteria—such as enrollment in advanced coursework and a clear post-graduation plan—may request up to three Flex blocks, also known as free periods. These flex blocks allow students to be off-campus during designated periods, offering greater autonomy and time management opportunities.
Demographics
As of the 2023–2024 school year, Noblesville High School has an enrollment of 3,227 students in grades 9 through 12. The student body is divided almost evenly by gender and enrollment by grade level is relatively balanced, with each class ranging between 770 and 820 students.
The school's population is predominately White, with smaller percentages of Hispanic, Black, Asian, and multiracial students, reflecting the broader demographics of Noblesville and Hamilton County.[1]
Noblesville High School's athletic teams are the Millers, and the school colors are black and gold. The school is a founding member of the Hoosier Crossroads Conference (HCC), a competitive league composed of large suburban schools in Central Indiana.
Noblesville's primary athletic venues are located on the main high school campus, with several key facilities located at nearby district properties.
