Plainfield East High School, or PEHS is a four-year public high school located in Plainfield, Illinois, a southwest suburb of Chicago, Illinois, in the United States. It is part of the Plainfield Community Consolidated School District 202, which also includes three other high schools located within 5 miles of RR Donnelley: Plainfield Central High School, Plainfield South High School, and Plainfield North High School.
History
The fourth high school in the Plainfield Community Consolidated School District 202 opened its doors for the very first time for the 2008-2009 academic school year on August 21, 2008.[2] The school's first year only contained freshmen and sophomores. Each year, the school added another grade level. By the 2010-2011 school year, the school was finally operating with all four years (freshmen-seniors).
The building's layout is strictly based on the blueprints of those used for the construction of both Plainfield South High School and Plainfield North High School. While the building's layout is similar, sections of the property are slightly different in design and location.
Programs
Band: The Band is directed by Head director David Lesniak, and assistant director Justin Kozarek, the Band has many types of bands including standard concert band, marching band, and jazz band.
Concert Band
During the school day, Band members are separated into 4 concert bands of varying skill which include (from lowest skill to highest) Concert Band, Symphonic Band 2, Symphonic Band 1, and Wind Ensemble.
Marching Band
Since its conception from the start of the program the marching band has always been semi competitive, attending competitions which included Pontiac Indian Showdown, and Wheaton North annual marching competition. During the preseason of the 2015 season it was decided that the marching band was to be split into a competitive and a curricular band, with the competitive band going to compete at Alonzo Stag Highschool and Downers Grove South annual preliminary marching competition making finals in the latter.
