This week we are celebrating Peoria High School alumni! Deborah Lahood, Class of 1981, says, "It feels like home... Having the opportunity to work with so many amazing leaders and to be a part of such an important part of this community is such an honor. Side note: I graduated the same year PHS celebrated its quasquicentennial (125 years). My grandmother and mother went to Manual, and I have yearbooks from 1928-1932!"
