Pekin High does not only depend on the student body tor support and encouragement in its activities, it depends greatly on help and cooperation ot the community With the new dragon mascot sponsored by Student Council, a special kind of enthusiasm has been aroused, making the community feel more a part of Pekin High Whether attending a sports activity or building a homecoming float, the school by itself cannot function. While the community supports and sponsors many aspects of high school, they count on students to utilize their goods and services contributions and to participate in the many functions available Be it a walk in the park, a game of tennis, or a bicycle ride, Pekin and the community cannot function alone — Pekin High and the community are brought TOGETHER!
