Peoria High is More
During COVID, PHS teachers and staff sent food to students houses, showed up with costumes, gave gifts during the holiday season, and constantly checked in on every one of their students.
When a student at Peoria High was battling with cancer, PHS came together and took 3 school buses full of kids to that house and showered their classmate, teammate, and friend with love and support.
PHS AVID students have held a clothing drive and canned food drive for the homeless, multiple years in a row to give back to the community.
When PHS had fights and major disruptions throughout the school and outside of it last September ~ Pride Team chose to rise above and make gift baskets for every SRO
(student resource officer) and every assistant principal there that day, to show our appreciation to them for all of their hard work to keep us safe.
PHS Pride Team flooded the halls and every locker with Positive sticky notes and messages to remind students they are not alone, and they matter. When our first football game of the year got cut short, we made every senior in football, band, cheer, and dance whose opening night was affected; goodie bags and cards, to show them love.
When Peoria High sees a need, we do our absolute best to fill it above and beyond.
Rotary Club and Key Club will be hosting an event On Sept. 14 to counter those disruptions last year on Sept. 17 to spread light on Peoria High and bring the community together and rise above the negativity.
Peoria High is more than a fight or negative news report. Peoria High is the Pride of the City and we do beat negativity.
Now our current Pride Team has a challenge for all of you. Spread positive memories, messages, and pictures from your time at Peoria High School, using the hashtag
