Formal groundbreaking ceremonies for Peoria-Heights High School were in ,luly 1970. This was the beginning of a dream the people in this community had. P.l'l.H.S. is based on the open plan concept, which is a series of large, open spaces with few permanent walls. Each open space has a physical arrangement which provides for flexible teaching program and more profitable experi- ences for students. The building itself is 71,440 sq. feet on a site of 19 acres. The total con- struction cost of the school, was Sl,684,55l.36 or 32,347 per student. The many contractors who helped to fulfill this dream were C. lber and Sons Co., Zaborac Electric, Peoria ln- dustrial Piping Co., Paddock School Equipment Co., Sutton Carpet Co., J. A. Eritch and Sons, and Shaver and Co. Worker welds the main framework of the high school during the early part of construction.
