An Outside Look Eight years ago PHS was designed by Petersburg architect, Gordon B. Galusha. Lack of funds slowed the program down until August 1 972, when the foundation for the $5,924,51 5 (excluding equipment costs) school was laid by the English Construction Company covering 5.5 acres. Student body enrollment for the 1 974- 75 school year is estimated at 1 850. However, the immediate capacity is for 2200, which can be easily expanded by adding classrooms to serve 3,000 students. To accommodate teachers and students during school hours and visitors during school activities, three parking lots have been spaced surrounding the school. 2

The gymnasium has two full sized courts and seats 3,000 fans comfortably. Classrooms on academic floors are color coded for easy location. The social studies floor, for example, is lime green which corresponds to the walls in each social studies classroom.

Auditorium seating is 924 with 532 plush red cushion seats. All regular cushion seats include “pull out’’ desk tops. Modern furnishings in the bright roomy cafeteria make it possible to serve 704 students during each of the three lunch breaks.
