Welcome to Family and Community

The Peoria Public School District 150 in 1984 helped to initiate an Adopt-A-School partnership program that benefits both the children within our schools and businesses and organizations that serve our community.  These partnerships are vital in providing teachers and students with resources they would not otherwise have.  The organizations, which now include  churches, provide such things as mentoring, tutoring, guest speakers, volunteers, incentives for children, donations and other contributions.
