Pearson Prentice Hall is a division of Pearson Education, the global leader in integrated education publishing.

Pearson Prentice Hall is part of a publishing institution that dates back to 1725 when Thomas Longman published the first book typeset by Benjamin Franklin. In 1913, law professor Dr. Charles Gerstenberg and his student Richard Ettinger founded Prentice Hall. Taking their mothers' maiden names—Prentice and Hall—to name their new company, Gerstenberg and Ettinger would create the premier U.S. publisher of academic, business, and professional books.
In 1950, Prentice Hall formed its first Educational Book Division. Over the next several decades, Prentice Hall published many successful educational programs from its headquarters in Englewood Cliffs, NJ.
In 1997, Simon & Schuster formed the K–12 Publishing Division, comprising Silver Burdett Ginn (SBG), Prentice Hall School, and Globe Fearon. One year later, Simon & Schuster's parent company, Viacom, sold all of the Simon & Schuster educational operations to Pearson plc, creating Pearson Education.
In 1999, Pearson Education introduced Open Book Publishing, the first of its kind quality-assurance initiative, with the goal of one hundred percent factual accuracy in its textbooks.
In 2000, Pearson Education and LessonLab, a pioneer in large-scale research and development of rich-media technologies for teaching and professional development, announce a partnership agreement to deliver LessonLab's online platform to Pearson Education's K–12 customers.
In 2002, Pearson Prentice Hall marked expansion into Career and Technology Education with the purchase of Interstate Publishers, leaders in agriculture education, and the acquisition of DDC Publishing, a provider of software training titles to the high school and post-secondary markets.
