Government students participated in the 35th Legislative Session today. A few bills passed, some failed, and there were an unprecedented three vetoes by the Chief Executive. It was an amazing day of leadership, citizenship, and respectful engagement in policy issues.
Senora Gresham was a happy recipient of a Green Design stool project from the Interior Design class. Great job!
The PCHS Counseling Office will be hosting FAFSA completion nights on December 12 and February 19th at 6pm in the Dragon Commons. All seniors, regardless of attending a 4-yr, 2-yr, or vocational school will need to complete the FAFSA. Both you and your student will need to create an FSA ID prior to the event. Please do so by going to https://studentaid.gov/fsa-id/create-account/launch. These workshops will be a great opportunity to work on your student's FAFSA while having experts around to answer any questions that may come up. We hope to see you there!

🔹 The Dragon Showdown: In a fun twist, our Pekin teams faced each other in round 6 — guaranteeing a win for the Dragons! 🐉🏅
