The best documentary is the kind made RIGHT HERE AT PHS! For Black History Month, students in Mr. Daubs English class worked together to create a documentary.
Students were tasked with researching, note taking, writing a script, and talking on camera. They worked in groups together.
Then, Ms. Hansen coached them through recording, and then edited the video to create a documentary on Harriet Tubman below. We are very proud of our students working together and getting out of their comfort zone to create something special.

The break might be over, but the sports continued for Peoria High School. The boys’ track team braved some cold weather and competed at Pontiac last Wednesday and then followed that up with a win over Manual. During that time, Malik won the long jump with a leap of 22-foot-5 (ranked 5th in the state), while Cam won a pair of high jump events, leaping 6-foot-6, which puts him ranked third in the state of Illinois. Johnson also high jumped for the first time and cleared a 6-foot-2. Melvin took a pair of wins in the 100-meter dash, while Joelle took a win in the triple jump with a career best 41 feet. Jayleon ran a career best in the 3200-meter and 1600-meter runs. The softball team dropped a 20-2 contest to Champaign Centennial and a 17-0 loss to Champaign Central to fall to 1-2 on the season. The baseball team dropped two games to Peoria Richwoods to fall to 0-4 on the season. Meanwhile, the girls’ soccer team began their season last week but fell to Champaign Centennial.

Can we get a happy birthday for Coach Bates? Coach dedicates four days a week in the weight room all year round. He is a dedicated coach for Peoria High, but he gives that same amount of energy to his wife, children, and the kids at the Friendship House.
Coach, we are so grateful for you. The Peoria community is grateful for you. May you have the best day you deserve.
