Well I figured I should give my alma mater some love. I attended BCHC from 1996-2000, My experience…read morethere was very unique. My freshman year I was immediately drawn to the internally produced TV show. I got in and was mentored by a junior at the time who was a part of the original tv crew (it had just started a year or two before me). I soon took over co-producing the show and after my mentor left I was the producer and editor of the show. I also ran all of the AV for the liturgies, pep rallies and DJ'd most of the dances with my two best friends. Why am I telling you this? By the time I was a Junior I had a job working for Markey's AV. I started my career in Technology when I was 15 because the opportunities at Chatard. My story is unique for sure but the staff at Chatard supported me and helped me grow as a young man. On other notes not related to my career. I was and am not Catholic. Even though it is required to take a religion class every year I was not pressured in any way to take on their beliefs. I treated it as a history class. What was so amazing was that the Senior religion class was world religions. I always thought this was such an amazing things for them to do. And if you were a student there from the late 70's to the mid 2000's you had Mr. Powell as your teacher. I bet there are 1,000's of adults that when asked who is the one teacher that left a mark on you would say Mr. Powell. He was definitely mine. * The main reason my parents chose Chatard was their English program for kids with learning disabilities. I was diagnosed with ADD at a young age in the 80's. This program and the absolutely amazing teachers supported learning techniques for students with these issues. We were in our own small 6 student classroom for 2 periods of the day instead of being in the general English class. After 2 years of this program I was able to return back to the regular class. I will never forget how much that helped me in my learning through my entire life. Over the years I came back and volunteered time teaching students in the TV show program, photography in art class. I have donated art for the auctions and more. Why because I love this school. I could go on and on for ever about my experiences here. I will always be a Trojan!! And if any staff read this, I am always willing and able to volunteer. I have spent the past 22 years in the advanced technologies and engineering, photography and videography.

The real reason I review this place is the Monday and Wednesday night ZUMBA classes held in the…read moregym! The instructor (Jessica Daughtery who is also married to Chatard's basketball coach) is amazing! I have tried out Zumba at other locations and with other instructors but no one can stack up to her classes! She is awesome, energetic, inspiring, super friendly and the best part is she offers one of the most competitively priced clases. Five dollars a class or a 5class punch card for only $20! The schedule changes during the school year but right now her classes are being offered from 7:30pm to 8:30pm every Monday and Wednesday nights. The music is less latino and more hip hop/top 40 and is one of the reasons I love it so much. You don't have to be coordinated or know any dance steps. A few classes and you will fit right in. Age ranges from middle school kids all the way to senior citizens and even a few male participants here and there. Most are college/recent grad aged. As far as the school, Tuition here is about 8000-10000 a year per student with a discount for multiple children going at the same time. It's centrally located, has a great sports program, and has a pretty good reputation.There are about 600-700 students who attend school here. Zumba is held either in one of the gyms or the cafeteria downstairs. All are well kept and clean.

Although this maybe an inconvenience to some, it's great for the safety of the students! The school is clean and very easy to navigate!

They have had previous locations, but relocated to the Stutz campus in 2024 and accordingly are close to other creative companies and some food and beverage spots. I came for their Industrial Sewing Skills 101 class. They offer a few classes each month and they usually sell out within a few days of being posted because the class sizes are small based on the number of stations. In addition to the 101 class, they offer an alterations basics class, and several upcycling focused classes. The 101 class is about 4-4.5 hours and costs $75. All materials are provided. They occasionally offer youth classes and more in-depth apprenticeship focused programs. The space has large windows offering lots of natural light. The door is on the north west of the "south Stutz" building on 10th Street. There is a combination of free street paring and metered parking nearby. In addition to their classes, they can do small batch production for fashion companies or companies that make functional pieces like tents, lawn chairs, etc. They also offer some prototyping support for clients looking to make custom textile pieces.

Indian Creek High School was a solid venue for a basketball game. It was easy to locate using GPS,…read moreand finding the gym entrance was straightforward, which I always appreciate. There was a decent-sized parking lot conveniently located near the entrance. Admission was smooth, as they accepted both cash and card, and they provided an information sheet for both teams, I love having these available. Near the entrance, I noticed a drink vending machine, though it only accepted $1 bills. The gymnasium itself is centrally located with plenty of seating space for spectators. It's well lit, and the scoreboards are clearly visible from both sides of the gym. Concessions were available with reasonably priced items. I purchased popcorn and a hot dog because I was told it was beef. The items I got were good. On the walk to the concession stand, there was a booth selling freshly baked cookies, three for $2. They accepted cash and card. The smell alone was impossible to resist, and they did not disappoint. They were so good that I ended up buying another set. I wanted really wanted more! This was a pleasant and well-organized game-day experience. Selling the freshly baked cookies is a rememberable.

They offer a huge variety of classes for all ages. I've taken the resin painting class as well as a nails and crafting class. Our daughter took the Fairy and Unicorn Summer camp this past summer and it was her favorite camp out of 5 summer camps. Line+form will be moving to a new location downtown in September so they'll be more accessible to people from all over the city. Don't let the drive dissuade you though. We live on the north side of Fishers and will definitely be attending many more classes in the future.

Well let's get to the good parts, there are a good variety of programs from law enforcement to landscape, business, computer graphics, dental, medical, forensics, mechanics and culinary just to name a few. The cafeteria is student ran by the culinary department, grounds are maintained by the landscape department, school nurse is ran by the medical department. So this tech school is pretty much self sufficient students will get a lot of real hands on experience and guest speakers and not just learning from a text book and videos there actually putting the skills and knowledge into practice here. Your student will learn from instructors that have been in or are still in there respective lines of work so you can be sure they know what they are talking about. Rarely do the students just sit and read from a book or do worksheets. My only complaint would be if former head of special education has any kind of authority there still. As she had a habit of giving away answers and or getting on students who she deemed to be lazy or weren't meeting her impossibly high expectations and would go out of her way to interrupt students in there classes to criticize them. She would also gleefully point out to parents of the student anything they did wrong. I sincerely hope this woman doesn't have any influence here still. Any former student you ask that ever had a test read could vouch to the fact that she blatantly did give out obvious clues that made it impossible to get a wrong answer. Except for when she gave the about a dozen students the wrong answer to a question and wouldn't let us leave until we wrote down the incorrect answer.
