My Education Experiences have shown me that Central's classrooms are the WORST.....this is great...

"Board member Jim Stowell took it a step further, calling for a building addition above the science wing and improvements to the campus. 'I think we need to make Peoria High a destination school, tie it into the growing medical community and make it a place where families want to send their children . . . to make it the facility it needs to be for the next 100 years.'"

Well, good luck with that.

I like the old look of the building. It certainly looks better than some new schools IMO. However, I've never been inside. It's nice that they are making improvements. Unfortunately, $20M probably won't go far enough to update an old school building.

I think the sturdy stone architecture is neat and will last. Once you walk in though it looks like your are back in 1960...and the rooms are terrible.

If they revamped some of the inside it would look and be great.
