A unique student-led experience at Hoboken High School is the Personal Growth Period, or PGP. This ever-evolving eighty minute block of time in the middle of the school day is designed to empower students to make choices that meet their needs or interests. Experiences and activities are created to support classroom instruction, provide academic support, create authentic learning opportunities or explore interest related activities that may not fit into the normal school day for the average student. Similar to a college hour or community hour, students are modeling the collegiate experience of unstructured time in their day and may choose the activity for the day that suits their current needs. Learning experiences are planned with the opportunity for students to earn credit through the Option II Program accredited by the NJDOE. Specific selections are listed in the previous section. Other relevant experiences during PGP include college visits, test-prep courses, fitness activities, book clubs, lecture series and student suggested selections.
