✂️🎀 Today we celebrated the grand opening of the Dr. Jerry and Donna Thacker Fieldhouse, an 80,000-square-foot, multi-use facility built for students across the P-H-M community. The Fieldhouse will support academics, athletics, and the arts, from indoor track and field to marching band, robotics, and districtwide events. This project was all completed without any increase to taxpayer rates. Named in honor of former Superintendent Dr. Jerry Thacker and his wife Donna Thacker, the facility recognizes their decades of leadership and commitment to student success.

We would like to congratulate Indiana's Class of 2025 for setting a NEW state graduation record of nearly 92%. This marks the third consecutive year of improvement among Indiana seniors graduating high school. Penn High School is proud to be a leader in this statewide success. With a 97.3% graduation rate, Penn far exceeds the new record and continues to demonstrate its commitment to preparing responsible young adults who are college, career, and life ready. Nearly half of Penn’s Class of 2025 earned Academic High Honors, and graduates collectively earned over $22 million in scholarships. Link to read more in the comments.
