Princeton Community High School is a four-year comprehensive secondary school in Princeton, Indiana. The high school is a part of the North Gibson School Corporation. The school is located on Old US Highway 41 North. The school operates a television station, W06BD, from studios at the high school. Princeton Community is one of the three high schools serving Gibson County, Indiana. The others are Gibson Southern and Wood Memorial.
Princeton Community High School was opened in the early 1970s to replace old Princeton High School, which had become crowded due to the public school consolidation of the previous few decades. The old Princeton High School building still exists and is now used as Princeton Community Middle School.
Construction on a new High School is expected to get underway by late spring 2010. The new high school is expected to be able to use trapped methane gas located beneath the construction site located on Indiana 65 right behind the football field of the current high school. Once this building is complete Princeton Community Middle School wil move into the current Princeton Community High School campus resulting in a centralized Middle-High School Campus. The new campus is expected to begin operation in the 2012-13 school year.
