When Dustin Homan first joined PPHS this past year, he was excited to hit the ground running with Passion Projects. His passion for connecting with students and community members has allowed his students to see the impact of their work far outside the traditional classroom. 

Student fundraising and advocacy project inspires students to support local animal shelters. 

If you ask our students or coaches what their favorite part of the PPHS model is, you’re guaranteed to hear about “Passion Projects”. Passion projects are coach-created projects that focus around something they, and hopefully, their students, are passionate about. Every six weeks coaches pitch their project to their students and students elect which projects they would like to take based on their interests and skills they’d like to develop.
