The annual Penn National Honor Society Fall Blood Drive was an outstanding success.

Penn students and staff donated a total of 51 units of blood from 74 donors.

That means Penn saved up to 102 lives!

Another NHS Blood Drive will be announced in the Spring.

The Penn NHS and the South Bend Medical Foundation thanks all of those who donated.

Every donation counts. 

The Penn High School Marching Kingsmen have been selected to participate in the 2025 Dunkin’ Doughnuts Thanksgiving Parade. The event is the longest continuously held Thanksgiving Parade in the United States.

​“It is certainly an honor to be invited to perform in the Philadelphia Thanksgiving Day Parade,” Penn Marching Band Director Glenn Northern said. “Our trip will include two days in New York City as well. It is sure to be a great experience for our students”.

Penn’s Early College Academy held its annual Thanksgiving Meal.

Would you like to start earning credits toward your college degree and have Penn High School cover the tuition?

The Penn High School College-Based Dual Credit (CBDC) Program is a way for high school students to begin college coursework and/or prepare for a career.

Students take classes at area colleges and online and will receive a college transcript from their respective college. These are actual college classes, taught by college professors. Penn is able to pay for CTE (career and technical classes) in the areas of business, architecture, communication, public health and more.

Colleges establish the course offering and days/time the classes are in session. Students may choose an area that matches their intended college major, their career plan or personal interest area. This is also a great opportunity for parents/guardians and students
to save on college tuition expenses. In fact, through new Indiana legislation, even materials such as textbooks and required lab equipment can be reimbursed by Penn. For a list of some of the options available, please look here.

We offer a Pharmacy Technician Certification program through Indiana University at South Bend for SENIORS only. This class is offered February through mid April at IUSB on Mondays and Wednesdays. While it doesn’t receive college credit, you do receive high school credit. Also, when students complete the program they receive a certificate of completion which students can use to apply for their State license through the Indiana Pharmacy Licensing agency. Courses in the CBDC program will meet one of the requirements for the Academic and Technical Honor Diplomas.

If you are interested in learning more or in taking a class next year, make sure counselors add College Based Dual Credit to your schedule for the Spring and you will also need to sign up for the college class(es) of your choice. To know how to do this, please see Mrs. Black in the IMC during G3 or G4, or email her at dblack@phm.k12.in.us.
