Lower Price Hill Community School Information

Lower Price Hill Community School (LPHCS) mission: To remove barriers and create bridges to college and employment for those who re-enter an educational environment in order to reach their life-long learning and earning goals. Founded in 1971 by neighborhood parents and grandparents tired of seeing their children drop out of the formal public school system. What started as small GED instructional classes in a basement storage room is today a modern learning facility that encompasses an entire floor of the old St. Michael school building. Our core programs include one-on-one GED preparation, Read to Succeed, and College Bridge. Keeping with the spirit of removing barriers, all of our programs are free of charge (with the exception of college tuition paid directly to Cincinnati State, which most of our students can fund entirely through Pell and Ohio Instructional Grants) and open to the public. We provide on-site childcare at no charge to those in our programs. We offer transportation assistance using bus tokens we purchase through the Everybody Rides Metro program.
