My name is Mrs. Tracye Hutsona and I am now in my sixteenth year at Matteson School District 162, and thrilled to have transitioned as Principal of the Indiana Wildcats! I could not be more excited to be part of the team here at Indiana along with our Assistant Principal, Mrs. Christina King and a fantastic staff of dedicated teachers!

Prior to coming to Indiana as Principal during the 2022-2023 school year,  I served as the Assistant Principal of O.W. Huth Middle School for 4  years, and was a 5th Grade teacher at Indiana School School for 7 years and a teacher at Matteson School for 4 years.  During my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, serving as an Assistant Pastor at Victory Apostolic Church, and binge watching great shows on Netflix and reading.

The partnership between schools and home is essential. Please work with your child's teacher to keep the lines of communication open and positive. Do not hesitate to call me at any time to set up a meeting, share a concern or let us know how we can better help your child have a positive learning experience and achieve success. Excellence is our Expectation at Indiana School and the key to making that a reality is our partnership with you. Together we will achieve great things this school year!

Please come see the exciting things taking place within our school!!!
