A huge thank you to all the Pekin students, community members, and staff who showed up to help with today’s clean‑up effort. Your time and hard work made a big impact. As one volunteer put it, “Many hands make light work.”
We are grateful for your commitment to our school and community.
Great to be a Panther!!
Area Leads

We will be picking up equipment, lumber, metal, and tree debris that has blown across campus.
What to Bring -
Work gloves if you have them
Sturdy footwear that can get wet
Thank you in advance to all who are willing to help support our school and community.
We did experience damage to several areas on campus, including the weight room, baseball dugout, greenhouses, and a number of fences and trees. Our insurance company is already working to get an adjuster on site to assess everything.
The Elementary and High School buildings did not sustain major damage.
We will be organizing a clean‑up day soon for students who would like to earn community service hours. More details will follow in the next day or two. Thank you to all that have reached out to offer help.

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer. I wanted to let you know that over the coming weeks, the Pekin Community School District will begin circulating a petition related to proposed facility improvement projects across the district.
These projects focus on priorities identified through facility assessments, staff input, community feedback, and Board discussions, including safety and security improvements, HVAC upgrades, updated learning spaces, and long-term infrastructure needs.
Signing the petition does not approve the project—it simply allows the proposal to move forward for community consideration and a public vote.
We encourage everyone to review the attached information and learn more about the proposed improvements, funding plan, and anticipated tax impact.
Thank you for your continued support of Pekin students, staff, and facilities. Additional information will be shared as the process moves forward. If you have questions, please feel free to reach out to me at 641-919-2202 or dave.harper@pekincsd.org.
