Keeanna Warren during the July 2019 ribbon cutting at Purdue Polytechnic High School North

Purdue Polytechnic HS North’s founding principal works to inspire students, give back to community

To Keeanna Warren, the building at 1405 Broad Ripple Ave. in Indianapolis looks like a tech startup. It’s really the home of Purdue Polytechnic High School North, of which Warren is the founding principal. Warren doesn’t view herself as a traditional principal. She sees herself as an education change agent — giving access to students who need a chance, serving as a positive and inspirational role model, and collaborating with families and the community to improve Indiana’s STEM pipeline for the 21st century.
