About the Paper

Fishers Tiger Times

Since Fishers High School’s foundation in 2006, The Tiger Times has served as the official newspaper of Fishers High School.  The printed edition is distributed free to over 3,500 students and school personnel.  Every member of the student staff receive elective credit for this full year class.

“The inaugural staff created the name after surveying students for ideas. Although the first year the school did not have a senior class, students were energized and enthusiastically united, especially evident on Fridays with the sea of red in the hallways and classrooms. The inaugural staff wanted something contemporary to go with their vision for the newsmagazine to be vibrant and cutting edge with personal storylines, a publication students would be excited to read on distribution day,” founding adviser Janet McKinney said.

The Tiger Times has received numerous awards over the years, including Hoosier Star finalist, NSPA All-American, CSPA Gold Medalist and Quill and Scroll International First Place. Individual students have also won awards from these organizations, as well as from the Women’s Press Club of Indiana and Ball State University’s Journalism Workshops.
