Some of the most prestigious higher institutions in the country are providing dual-credit instruction at no cost to juniors and seniors in the Indianapolis Public Schools district.

A program allows high school students to explore the health care field and even promises a job offer upon graduation.

Indianapolis Public Schools is partnering with Indiana University Health to launch a fellowship focused on health care at Attucks. The pilot program is an expansion of the district's health sciences pathway.

The Indianapolis Public Schools Board Thursday approved the hire of current principals to lead the four revamped high schools that will remain next year.

In 1955 Crispus Attucks became the first all-black school in the nation to win a state title. They won again in 1956 and 1959. Jamal Harris' put-back with .9 seconds remaining gave the Tigers their first state championship since 1959 with a victory over Twin Lakes in Class 3A.

The Indianapolis City-County Council presented WFYI President Lloyd Wright and local filmmaker Ted Green with a special resolution Monday night for their combined work on "Attucks: The School That Opened a City."

A new curriculum guide designed to accompany the new documentary Attucks: The School That Opened a City -- about the legendary high school -- aims to bring to life the story of the school that was opened by Indianapolis Public Schools in 1927.
