Don't forget to nominate a PCHS alum! - https://5il.co/moc1 Pekin Community High School is very proud of its past and would like the chance to celebrate those who have come before and recognize the great alumni who have gone on to make significant contributions to the world after their time spent at PCHS. We believe these people serve as role models to inspire current and future generations of students. In this spirit, we are reaching out to you hoping that some of you would have the desire to nominate a fellow classmate or PCHS alum who you know who has gone on to do wonderful/extraordinary things. The nomination needs to be filled out a returned to Dr. Danielle Owens by January 8, 2021 to be considered for this year's selection process. Anyone nominated must meet the following criteria: * Graduated from PCHS or attended for at least 2 years. * Is at least 30 years of age at the time of nomination. * Is not a current employee or Board Member of PCHS. * Demonstrates a high level of achievement in his/her field and makes significant contributions to that field. We hope to recognize our Distinguished Alum(ni) at our Homecoming Festivities typically held during the first week of October. We recognized our first class of Distinguished Alumni in the fall of 2019, and the class of 2020 Distinguished Alumni will be recognized, hopefully, in the spring of 2021 as we had to postpone this due to the current pandemic. We are excited to continue celebrating our past graduates as a critical part of continuing to grow the Pekin pride for Pekin Community High School and our community. Please consider nominating someone you know for this award.
