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.

[edit] 2008-09 Basketball

After going 22 for 25 in the previous 2 years,[1] the 2008-09 season PCHS's Boys Basketball team completed a 29-0 Perfect Season and is currently ranked #1 in Class 3A and won their first sectional in almost 10 years and their first regional in 26 years. They won their first Semi-State Championship in the same amount of time on March 21, 2009. Current Record: 29-0. On Saturday 28 March 2009 they defeated Rochester Community High School 81 to 79 in a double-overtime final in the 3A State Championship at Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. [2] This is Gibson County's first basketball title of either gender and third overall between Princeton and county rival Gibson Southern High School with their two softball titles. PCHS's 33-0 perfect streak came to an end on December 18, 2009 at the hands of Vincennes Lincoln in an 74-67 overtime loss to the Alices at Vincennes Lincoln's Alice Arena.

As of December 13, 2009, Princeton was ranked 6th in the IBCA all-state poll. [3]
