Students in the Penn High School Medical Interventions Class performed an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), which is used to diagnose disease by detecting antibodies.

The Medical Interventions Class, taught by Courtney Porter, is part of Penn’s Bio-Medical Sciences pathway. 

Penn is the first large, comprehensive public high school in Indiana to achieve the Indiana Department of Education full Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) certification.

Penn’s STEM Academy is the only full STEM-certified program in the “School within a School” model in Indiana.  

According to the Indiana Department of Education, Full STEM Certification is awarded to schools or programs that demonstrate a commitment to providing high quality STEM programs in the areas of science, technology, engineering and math, while preparing students for success in the 21st century. 

Penn is now one of 19 STEM-certified programs or schools in Indiana.
