“Breaking the mold” has been a theme of The 74’s recent coverage of the “Future of High School,” and perhaps no school does that more aggressively than Purdue Polytechnic. On Wednesday, The 74 and the Progressive Policy Institute will take a deep dive into the Indianapolis school’s efforts to prepare students for STEM-related postsecondary programs and high-tech careers. 

Featured on our online panel: Dr. Keeanna Warren, associate executive director, PPHS Network; Dr. Gary Bertoline, senior vice president, Purdue University; former Indiana state Rep. Mary Ann Sullivan; The 74 Senior Reporter Jo Napolitano; and Purdue Polytechnic junior Raina Maiga. PPI’s Taylor Maag will moderate. Please join us at 2 p.m. Eastern.
