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.
