Doors Open For PHS Many new doors were opened to Perryville High School students in 1979-80 bringing new things to do and to experience. As these new doors widened, the challenges were met with a sense of determination and pride, and students soon realized a new sense of responsibility and leadership. At the beginning of the 1979-80 school year a door was opened to new ideas in administration, when Mr. Bill Moon took over duties as the new principal. Mr. Moon challenged PHS students and faculty to have a number one school. He urged student leadership in making PHS the best school possible. The new administration offered students increased responsibility and leadership opportunities by giving more responsibility to the Student Council and the office staff, by giving clubs the opportunity to sponsor new activities, and by organizing the Future Teachers of America Club. Students eagerly grasped these op- portunities by becoming active in these organizations.
