School District
The Community School Corporation of Southern Hancock County is located in New Palestine, Indiana in the southwest corner of Hancock County, contiguous to Warren and Franklin Townships in Marion County on the west and to Shelby County on the south.  Composed of Brandywine and Sugar Creek Townships, the district includes approximately 60 square miles.   The School District has a current enrollment of 3,327 students.  The Townships have a tax base made up of farmland, single-family homes, some agricultural services, and small businesses.

School Community
The area has developed into an Indianapolis suburban community that provides a small town atmosphere without the congestion and traffic concerns associated with living in the city.  Residents of the community are within 30 minutes of the cultural and sporting events offered by Indianapolis and about 8 miles from Greenfield, Indiana, the county seat of Hancock County.  Major highways into the Indianapolis metropolitan area include U.S. 52 from the southeast and U.S. 40 (Washington Street) from the east and to a lesser extent, I-74 from the southeast and I-70 from the east.
