I am a former student of Georgetowne. I am currently attending Pekin High School. I would like to say the the person who had the audacity to say such crude remarks about this school apparently is only jealus because of their lack of education. I mean they could not even finsh thoughts. But this school

If this school is so bad, then why is it that Mary Carver was named Teacher of the Year(nominated by the students, and chosen by the foundation!)? And they have Mrs. Henson.

There is more 1 on 1 with the students from the teachers because they care about the education of the students. I would recommend this school and this district to anyone moving here. They motivate the students to do their best and to try harder always. Read less
