In the Sunshine Hallway, there is a large scale art piece called "People of Penn" that was first installed in 2011. Over the last year, Senior Graphic Design Student Morgan Kukla has worked hard to update the piece with current People of Penn! Yesterday the new version was installed and it looks great. Next time you're in the Sunshine Hallway, make sure you look up, chances are good you'll recognize some of the faces ☺️ - Great job Morgan!!!! #PHMExcellence

Big day at Penn! We officially cut the ribbon on the Dr. Jerry and Donna Thacker Fieldhouse, an 80,000-square-foot facility designed to elevate academics, athletics, and student life, all built without raising the tax rate for P-H-M residents.

Beyond athletics, the Fieldhouse will also accommodate marching band rehearsals, smaller scale robotics events, school dances, and other large student gatherings, further expanding opportunities for student engagement and districtwide events.

Thank you to Dr. Jerry and Donna Thacker for their lasting impact on Penn-Harris-Madison and to everyone else who made this project possible.
