Penn student C. Monte Teeple, starring as Lord Farquaad, said that the musical as a contemporary appeal.

“Unlike a lot of musicals that you would find locally, Shrek is a much more modern show,” Teeple said. “This not only means that many jokes and much of the humor will be understood by students, but also that the actual songs and music are far more modern as well.”

The plot of “Shrek the Musical” revolves around a hated Ogre (Shrek) and a talking donkey who go on a quest to save Princess Fiona in order to reclaim Shrek’s swamp.

Lord Farquaad claimed the swamp and has housed all magical creatures there.

From a deeper point of view, the story is about the misfits and those who don’t fit in, and finding your place in the world.

Some patrons may notice that no “snow make-up days” have been built into the 2017-2018 calendar. With the district’s successful implementation of eLearning—which takes place outside the classroom on days that school is canceled—additional days do not need to be scheduled.

Amendment to the Plan of Reorganization for the Penn-Harris-Madison Board of School Trustees

In August of 1997 a committee was formed to investigate the possible restructuring of the P-H-M Board of School Trustees, which would allow for a more equitable structure of representation. The committee's experience was a very positive one with members recommending a reorganization plan that would be in the best interest of every patron and student within the P-H-M corporation.

At the December 15, 1997 meeting, the Board of School Trustees of the Penn-Harris-Madison School Corporation amended the Plan of Reorganization for the Penn-Harris-Madison School Corporation approved by the State of Indiana on December 23, 1963 by modifying the number, qualifications, length of term, manner and time of selection of the members of the Board of School Trustees.

Here is a copy of the Penn-Harris-Madison School Corporation Amendment To Plan of Reorganization Regarding the Board of School Trustees.
