Hamilton Southeastern Schools is the school district for students residing in Fishers, Indiana and portions of neighboring Noblesville, Indiana. The district consists of thirteen elementary schools (K-4), four intermediate schools (5-6), four junior high schools (7-8), and two high schools (9-12). Hamilton Southeastern is home to the Hamilton Southeastern Royals and the Fishers Tigers.

Hamilton Southeastern is one of the largest school corporations in Indiana, serving 21,299 students in the 2023-24 academic year. The district is known for its consistently high academic ratings. Fourteen of the twenty-two schools in the district are four star schools as rated by the Indiana Department of Education. Geist Elementary School was named a 2016 Blue Ribbon School by the US Department of Education, an award only given to 329 schools nationally. The district had a 23.1% higher passing rate on the math/English combined ISTEP+ tests when compared to the state average in 2006-07.

The school district has been the subject of controversy following a lawsuit that alleged the district failed to properly intervene in an act of bullying toward a student that resulted in a suicide.
