The 2015-2016 Penn High School yearbook is scheduled to ship around the middle of September.
 

When yearbooks arrive, there will be an announcement.
 

Yearbook distribution will take place at the north end of the cafeteria during lunches, and you will be able to pick up your yearbook at that time.

P-H-M’s 3-tiered security design for Penn High School (as well as for the 11 elementary and three middle schools) were featured in the “The August Educational Interiors Showcase” issue published last week and is being sent to 56,000+American School & University magazine subscribers.

The article features not only the architectural design of Penn High School’s entry, but also explains how the design plays an important factor in keeping our students safe.

The safety and the security of our students is a top priority for Penn-Harris-Madison School Corporation. Director of Safety and Security Mike Seger recently wrote a guest blog on SecurityToday.com about the beginning steps school districts can take to implement district wide safety initiatives.
