At the October 9th P-H-M Board of School Trustees' meeting, the Board approved a donation by Dr. and Mrs. Jerry Thacker to the P-H-M Education Foundation naming rights campaign. P-H-M Superintendent Dr. Thacker and his wife have generously donated $10,000 to have the basketball court in Penn High School’s Main Arena named after Hall of Fame and Penn’s legendary coach, Al Rhodes, renaming the court “Al Rhodes Kingsmen Court” who retired at the end of last school year. Over the course of 17 years, Dr. and Mrs. Thacker have donated $202,500 to the Education Foundation! This is the second time the Thacker's have given to the naming rights campaign. In 2021, they donated $25,000 to have the Kingsmen Athletic Center renamed the Chris Geesman Kingsmen Athletic Center after Penn’s legendary football championship coach.


Per PHMEF’s naming rights fundraising initiative, 80 percent goes into the Foundation’s endowment, which is used to fund teacher and classroom grants. The remaining 20 percent directly funds professional development for P-H-M teachers.

Parent Teacher Conferences

Dear Elsie Rogers Families,


All elementary schools in Penn-Harris-Madison School Corporation will be conducting in-person Parent-Teacher-Student Conferences for every student on Tuesday, October 17th and Wednesday, October 18th. All parents will be encourage to schedule a 15-minute conference. If you have extenuating circumstances that require a virtual conference, please reach out to your child's teacher after you have selected your time. Your prompt arrival will be greatly appreciated as we will attempt to follow the scheduled times without delay.


The conference provides the teachers with an opportunity to discuss your child’s academic progress. This time together will provide an opportunity to exchange information about a child and renders valuable supplementary information to the report card. In an effort to make conferences more meaningful for both parents and students, we encourage you to allow your child to participate in the actual conference with us. We trust you will look upon conferences as a beneficial experience.


If you have NOT selected a day and time for your child's conference, please find your teacher(s) below and sign up!
