Bishop Noll focuses on preparing young minds for college and future success through a structured and student-focused design. Through a partnership with universities including Indiana University, Purdue Northwest, and Ivy Tech, Bishop Noll students can earn up to 30 college credit hours before high school graduation. These partnerships allow students to complete one year of college while still in high school. In addition, students can secure a Spanish minor. These collegiate partnerships provide students with the skills needed to excel at the collegiate level after their high school experience. Noll’s Career and Technical Education program puts students on the pathway to graduation based on their future career goals. Pathways include business, engineering, visual communication and fine arts. With a focus on having a modern learning environment for students, several upgrades and renovations have taken place within the building. Students learn in a state-of-the-art STREAM Lab with 3-D printers, a maker’s space, tools and more; modern science labs; an updated Media Center; and a renovated band room that includes a sound-proof recording studio.
