The Purdue Promise: More than a Diploma
At PPHS, our students don’t just dream of college, they prepare for it, with the full support of Purdue University behind them.
As a Purdue-founded school, our students benefit from:
A Direct Path to Purdue University
Through our innovative curriculum and strong alignment with Purdue admissions, PPHS students are uniquely positioned to pursue postsecondary success at Purdue or wherever they choose to go next.
College-Ready by Design
From dual credit courses and AP options to college success seminars and career exploration, everything we do is built to help our students thrive after graduation.
Access to the Purdue Network
Collaborate with Purdue faculty, take dual credit courses, visit campus, and participate in enrichment programs that give you a head start, academically, socially, and professionally.
This is the Purdue Promise: A high school experience that isn’t just preparing students for college - it’s already connecting them to it.
The PPHS Experience: Not your Typical High School
At PPHS, students don’t just go to school, they create, explore, lead, and launch what’s next. From project-based learning to real-world challenges, every day is designed to help students grow in confidence, skills, and purpose.
