EDUCATIONAL INTERIORS SHOWCASE: THREE LAYER SECURITY DESIGN
The publication American School & University (ASU) featured the “commons area” just inside Penn High School’s main entrance in its annual “Showcase” issue (August 2016). The design successfully combines an open attractive space to welcome our community along with three layers of security to assure staff and students’ safety. This three-layer approach has been implemented at all 15 P-H-M Schools.
P-H-M Safety Director Mike Seger and P-H-M Director of Facilities Tom Hartman worked closely with the architectural firm Fanning Howey and the safety experts at Honeywell to achieve the design. Learn more about Penn’s “Outstanding Design” designation in the ASU article.

SECURITY TODAY COVER STORY
The November 2013 issue of Security Products Magazine featured the article "Standing Above the Rest" by Ralph C. Jensen. "There are some schools and campuses that have prepared themselves so well above others that they are virtually a beacon on the hill in terms of security. Not only are they prepared, but they also know that threats are to be taken seriously, as no one is immune from an incident." Here is the link to the digital version of the "Standing Above the Rest" story. Embedded in the digital version is P-H-M's Safety and Security Construction Update. In addition, the author Ralph C. Jensen wrote comments about P-H-M in this article.
