The 2025 MIRA Awards were a wonderful night for @WilliamPenn49

Penn was a finalist for the Talent Impact Award, and I was named the @TechPointInd Bridge Builder Award Recipient!

Humbled and grateful that our work is being seen! Keeping kids the compass!

There’s so very much to be excited about at Penn! Check out our great progress in band and orchestra, our scholars in Medical Detectives diagnosing their first patients, some aesthetic upgrades starting around the building, and hanging with Superintendent Dr. Aleesia Johnson!

Students in Mrs. Raisor’s PLTW Design & Modeling class planned out their design for a foot orthosis by deciding what materials to use and exactly what their design should be! Each member of the group had a specific job for the planning process!
