Please join us tomorrow evening at our  Open House!

The Portage Central High School Open House will be held on Wednesday, August 20th from 6:30 pm to 8 p.m. It is truly an Open House: the time is all yours to walk around, to say hi to visit teachers, to check out your schedule and to enjoy time with friends and family. It will be so great to see you there!

Here are some highlights!

  • There will be an Activities Fair in Centennial Park, weather permitting, though hopefully we got the rain out of the way (Otherwise it will be held in the Commons.) Students can get club information before school starts. Too, we will be selling this year’s yearbook, and we also have raffles for free stuff, like t-shirts, athletic passes and parking passes! There will also be an open Meet and Greet to say hi to your students’ teachers and other staff, and you will be able find all your classes – and enjoy time with friends as you walk along!

    Want to get a head start on thinking about all those clubs and sports? Cool! Check out The Welcome Guide. This is built to support all our kids and their families, to get a sense of our culture and values, and to help them get involved in the tons of activities that we are blessed to provide our kids.  

  • Yes, the Corral is open! Show your Mustang Pride in style with some new gear. The Corral (located in the Commons at PCHS) will be open during the entire PC Open House. We have some 2025-26 school year changes, including an online store. Go Mustangs!

  • Don’t forget to stop at the Welcome Center to buy your parking pass! Please fill out the parking registration form found on the GLIC; hit this link to get all the information you need. After you have completed the online form, bring your driver's license and vehicle registration to the Welcome Center to purchase a parking permit for $20. Every car in the parking lot MUST have a permit for this academic year. (As an important aside, the funds raised from permit sales go toward paying for our Mustang RideOut and graduation each year.) Too, all students who purchase a 2025-26 parking pass by Friday, Sept. 12 will receive a FREE PC sticker!

  • Athletic passes will be on sale too! We accept cash, check (made out to PPS) and credit cards. (There is a processing fee for credit card payments.) 

We are looking forward to seeing you!

Super excited after an awesome Freshman and New Student Orientation yesterday,
