Welcome New, Returning, and Prospective Students and Community Members!

P.L.I. is a project based high school that focuses on preparing students for the challenges of the real world by encouraging independence, self-motivation and how to successfully contribute and function in a community setting.

Attention Parents

Be sure to check with your students at the end of each week for their progress report. This gives a current view of your son or daughter’s progress in the areas of their main project, English, math and advisory. Students, be sure to return the progress reports each Monday to help earn advisory credit.
