Educators, experts discuss how Purdue Polytechnic High School is guiding graduates towards both higher education & STEM careers in an evolving economy
“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.
