1 PEKIN COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL PCHS Mission: In partnership with the community, we engage, prepare and empower our students for a lifetime of success through diverse opportunities. Dragon News May 2018 Pekin Community High School is a Title One school and, as such, receives federal funds. These funds are spent in accordance with Title One guidelines and are used with the overarching goal for every child to meet state academic achievement standards. Title I provides the programs and resources for students to meet this goal. 1:1 is coming to Pekin High School Pekin Community High School is going 1:1 starting in the school year. All students will be issued a Chromebook that they will use daily at school and at home. At home, students will have the same filtered and secure internet access as they have in school. We have created a fact sheet that can be accessed via our social media sites and the web page. To find it on the web page, go to and click on the Parents tab. It can be found under the 1:1 Information link. Please take time to review it for important information. We are very excited about giving our students this new tool to enhance their learning at PCHS!
