Officials from Purdue Polytechnic High School (PPHS) South Bend and Career Academy Network of Public Schools (CANOPS) say that the new partnership between the two charter systems is a chance to create more transformative learning opportunities for South Bend students.
On Wednesday, Feb. 4, the PPHS Board of Directors voted to relinquish PPHS South Bend’s charter at the end of the 2026-27 school year and enter into a memorandum of understanding with CANOPS, which, CANOPS CEO Jeremy Lugbill said, stands as a strong collaboration between the two schools.
