• Welcome to the 2024-25 School Year!

  Hello PPA Families and Students,

  School year 2024-25 begins Thursday, September 5th.  We hope everyone had a restful and enjoyable summer break.

  The first day of school is exciting and the PPA Staff is thrilled to meet our new students and greet our returning students.

  In an effort to support your child's first week at school, we want to encourage students to arrive at the campus by 7:45 a.m.  We are a co-located campus with four additional high schools.

  Please take into consideration that the entire campus community will be returning and our students should anticipate some short delays and extended lines at entry.  We will work diligently to minimize any challenges at entry and scanning during the first week of school.  We appreciate your understanding and patience.

  Pelham Prep students will enter on Astor Avenue next to the athletic field via the ramp.  PPA school staff will be outside dress in PPA apparel to help and assist students in the morning and throughout the day.

  Upon entering the building, all PPA students will have their electronic devices controlled by PPA staff and student devices will be distributed at the end of the school day.

  After scanning, PPA students will be direct to the fourth (4th) floor where they will receive their programs.
