A Princeton high school in New Jersey, United States of America provided secondary education for residents of the area.
History[]
Indiana Jones enrolled in the school in October 1914 following his relocation back to Princeton from Utah with his father.[1]
During the 1915–1916 school year, the junior class included Jones, Nancy Stratemeyer, Butch and Rosie. The school fielded a baseball team, on which Jones was a player.[2]
A classroom of the school.
In February 1916, the school hosted its junior prom, which many students attended, taking advantage of an unseasonably warm winter in New Jersey to showcase their automobiles.[2]
Jones left during spring break soon after and subsequently dropped out, having attended for less than two years,[1] as he was kidnapped by Pancho Villa and ended up deciding to enlist in World War I which kept him from home for three years.[3][4][5]
Behind the scenes[]
Indiana Jones' high school ("Indy's High School" in Matthew Jacobs' teleplay) goes unnamed in The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. There is a real place of learning in New Jersey simply called Princeton High School but it's unclear if the Young Indy school is an invention of the show or a fictionalization of an actual place.
