Pekin Community High School District #303 - The Fire is Within

This spring, PCHS is teaming up with Bradley University, the Illinois Math Academy and the Asian Indian Community Collaboration of Peoria to participate in Bradley's Bridge to Success, put on by the Business and Engineering Club at BU. The Dragons had a great time at their first of four installments, with activities centered on business ethics and concrete construction. It was a morning well spent for those considering engineering and business as future careers.

Tomorrow night! This event starts at 6 PM and is being held in our own theater.

These are the best of times! Yearbook proudly announces that its yearbook has been selected for inclusion in Varsity Yearbook's distinguished Portfolio, a national showcase recognizing the most outstanding yearbooks produced by Varsity Yearbook. This achievement places PCHS among only 686 schools featured in this year's edition!! Don't forget to buy our next award winning yearbook before we sell out!
