Sculpture students work to carve animals out of alabaster and soapstone. They start with a coping saw, move to a riffler, and finish by sanding it smooth.
We are excited to announce this edition of the "Flying the P" award. This student has worked extremely hard on and off the field to improve his game. Senior Soccer Player Aidan Sandoval is the first PCHS soccer player to be a three-time all sectional and three-time first-team all-Mid Illini conference selection in 40 years of boys soccer! Congratulations on a record setting senior season for team wins and historic individual career. You inspire others every day and are a great example of The Dragon Way!
Please help us in congratulating him on being selected for this prestigious honor!
