School Notes:
  • Broad Ripple High School, established in 1886, is a high school within the Indianapolis Public Schools.
  • History: Originally built in 1886 in the town of Broad Ripple, the school started with seven students. The campus was destroyed by fire near the turn of the century but was rebuilt. In 1923, the school joined the Indianapolis Public Schools when Broad Ripple was annexed into Indianapolis. Through the 1930s and '40s, the school continued to grow. In 1961, the school became a haven for high school education in Indianapolis. Once a predominantly white, middle class school, Broad Ripple gradually integrated in the 1970s.
  • In 1976, the Center for Performing & Visual Arts was created. Two years later, the Center for Humanities became the second magnet program offered at Broad Ripple High School. The Center for Performing & Visual Arts and Center for Humanities at Broad Ripple High School offer students the opportunity for specialized study in the areas of arts and humanities. Both magnet programs provide college preparatory and individualized instruction designed to develop the skills and knowledge necessary to compete and succeed as productive citizens.
  • Today: Additions, renovations, and annexations took place in 1896, 1913, 1935, 1939, 1949, 1960, 1970, 1988, 1991, and 2003. Enrollment reached its peak at 2,500 in 1995 after the closure of Washington and Howe high schools in Indianapolis. The campus consists of four buildings, all attached to each other. The official mascot is the Rockets. The school is accredited by the North Central Association.
