Indian Hill School District mourns loss of beloved Indian Hill High School educator
The Indian Hill School District mourns the loss of Indian Hill High School Choir and Theater Director Jeff Clark, who passed away this week after being transferred into comfort care with hospice following a complicated surgery due to his advanced stage four colon cancer. The beloved, award-winning educator brought to life some of the most memorable productions to grace the Indian Hill High School Auditorium since joining the district in 2016; Mr. Clark dedicated his life to serving students in education since 2001.

“We are devastated, with our students, our parents, and our community, at the loss of this passionate educator, who offered our students incredible, unparalleled experiences in the arts,” said Indian Hill School District CEO/Superintendent Kirk Koennecke. “Our hearts are with Mr. Clark’s family.”

In honor of Mr. Clark, we want to share with you the video celebrating our winter musical production, Spamalot.
