Private School Information Letter
Local Middle Schools
October 2, 2019
Parents of prospective Penn High School students,
The transition from middle school to high school is an important process and vital to the sustained success of students at Penn High School. With this in mind, our staff works to offer multiple resources to our incoming students/parents to ease this transition. Several programs and events are offered to eighth grade students at Discovery, Grissom, and Schmucker Middle Schools. We also realize there are students coming to Penn High School from middle schools not affiliated with Penn-Harris-Madison School Corporation. Please see the information below for a summary of options and events for students/parents transitioning to Penn High School from private middle schools. Prospective families must live in the PHM district.
The programming options for our incoming eighth grade students include:
Private school visitation - Wednesday, November 20, 2019 1:00pm - 2:30pm in the CPA (students/parents welcome).
Informational presentation by Counselors
General tour of building led by Freshman Mentors
Q&A session for students with Freshman Mentors in small group setting
