From the beginning, PC was coeducational, community-driven, and rooted in service. What started as a dream to care for children left without families and give them a future quickly grew into a place where students—regardless of their background—could pursue their full potential through education.

Our motto fuels everything we do and is the heart of our mission: to educate and empower students like you who want to improve the world around them. We believe that with the right opportunities and support, you can make an impact that matters with the lessons you learn at PC.  

“Go True Blue” is our rallying cry, representing all the things that make PC unique to you. It’s about the connections you make here, the experiences that shape you, finding common ground across differences, and exploring what it means to be your most authentic self.

In the early 1900s, sportswriters gave PC this nickname inspired by our athlete’s bold blue socks. The name stuck, but it’s grown to mean so much more. Today, Blue Hose is a reference to our championship spirit and a proud symbol of PC’s resilience and heart.
