PCHS is excited to welcome back all of our students Wednesday. Please be patient if you are either coming to campus or just driving by. With new schedules, increased traffic, and road construction it will take a few days for traffic patterns to be established and our ultimate goal is the same… student safety first!!!
Don't forget that all students should bring their fully charged Chromebook for tomorrow!
Student Drop - Off Information: Please enter at Stadium Drive or Parkway Drive and complete the drop off either at the Pillar Loop or the Canopy Loop. Please note that Dragon Hill Drive is closed to passenger cars during student drop-off.
We were honored to celebrate and recognize the incredible dedication and hard work of our staff with service awards at today's luncheon. We are so grateful for your service and contributions. #dragonpride

Fridays are for fun AND safety! The PCHS Crisis Team completed their annual training today and are ready for a great school year!
The Pekin tennis team is being brave in the humidity and learning the rules of the game! Everyone is doing awesome on our new courts!
Can you believe it's almost that time for picture day?! School picture day is happening on Friday, August 23 during PE, Health, Marching Band, JROTC, Driver's Ed, or if your student has none of those classes then they should visit the small gym during their advisory period! Check your mail for this flyer. It's their "fast pass" to skip the line in the gym. You do not need the flyer to have your picture taken!
Chromebook pick up for all FULLY REGISTERED students starts tomorrow in room G206. Please enter at the Principal's Office Doors. Students are encouraged to be there as they will be setting their password. There is an opportunity to purchase a case for the Chromebook for $25 payable by cash or check. Chromebooks should be picked up prior to Dragon Day.
Who needs Dragon Gear? Check out the volleyball team store and they will serve you up some great items!
