The innovative high school model combines personalized learning with project-based curriculum \u2013 including industry-focused experiential learning \u2013 that help bring careers to life for students. The intense program is designed to be a stepping stone to college or a direct pathway to a high-tech career for students from all backgrounds.<\/p>\n\n<p>In 2017, the Richard M. Fairbanks Foundation awarded $1,250,000 to support the launch of PPHS and help develop the back-office capacity needed to scale the model. PPHS has now expanded to three campuses. The early results from the schools have been promising, and the first graduating class of 113 students included 48 students that were accepted into Purdue University, half of whom identified as Black or Latino.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-934b068 elementor-widget elementor-widget-rmff-video\" data-id=\"934b068\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"rmff-video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t        <div class=\"rmff-video-widget\" data-widget-id=\"934b068\">\n            \n            <!-- Headline -->\n            \n            <!-- Video Container -->\n            <div class=\"rmff-video-container\">\n                                    <div class=\"rmff-video-wrapper\">\n                        <div class=\"rmff-video-embed\">\n                                                            <iframe \n                                    src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3ZQGt-V9B64?enablejsapi=1&#038;rel=0\" \n                                    frameborder=\"0\" \n                                    allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\"\n                                    allowfullscreen\n class=\"rmff-video-iframe\">\n                                <\/iframe>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"rmff-video-overlay\" data-video-type=\"youtube\" data-video-url=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/3ZQGt-V9B64\">\n                            <div class=\"rmff-play-button\">\n                                <svg width=\"123\" height=\"141\" viewbox=\"0 0 123 141\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n                                    <path d=\"M117.25 70.7181L3.25 136.536V4.90076L117.25 70.7181Z\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"5\"\/>\n                                <\/svg>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n\n            <!-- Caption -->\n                        <div class=\"rmff-video-caption\">\n                <p>Purdue University is taking a proactive step towards fostering diversity in STEM by launching a new high school in Indiana dedicated to providing underrepresented students with the education, mentorship, and resources needed to pursue successful careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.<\/p>            <\/div>\n            \n        <\/div>\n        \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0110\u1ea1i h\u1ecdc Purdue \u0111\u00e3 t\u1ea1o ra m\u1ed9t tr\u01b0\u1eddng trung h\u1ecdc m\u1edbi nh\u1eb1m ph\u00e1t tri\u1ec3n th\u1ebf h\u1ec7 m\u1edbi c\u1ee7a nh\u00e2n t\u00e0i STEM c\u00f3 k\u1ef9 n\u0103ng, gi\u00fap h\u1ecd d\u1ec5 d\u00e0ng chuy\u1ec3n ti\u1ebfp t\u1eeb trung h\u1ecdc l\u00ean \u0111\u1ea1i h\u1ecdc v\u00e0 s\u1ef1 nghi\u1ec7p.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11194,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[25,40],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11193","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-education","category-vitality-of-indianapolis"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rmff.org\/vi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11193","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rmff.org\/vi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rmff.org\/vi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rmff.org\/vi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rmff.org\/vi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11193"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/rmff.org\/vi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11193\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rmff.org\/vi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11194"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rmff.org\/vi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11193"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rmff.org\/vi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11193"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rmff.org\/vi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11193"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
