Thank you to the members of the Pekin Area Chamber of Commerce for their incredible generosity! The PCHS Dragon’s Closet received over 200 Holiday Break Bags – each filled with healthy snacks, hygiene items, and a warm blanket to celebrate the end of a successful semester. We are so grateful for the Chamber’s support during the holidays and throughout the year!

Our awesome Life Skills classes need a break, and a chance to get caught up in the Dragon's Closet.
We are on a temporary clothing hold until further notice. THANK YOU FOR YOUR AMAZING SUPPORT THIS YEAR!
