John J. Morris Post 62 honors Peoria High School with Americanism Award

Peoria, AZ

On June 2, John J. Morris Post 62 (Peoria, Ariz.) honored Peoria High School with the Americanism Award. The oldest high school in the city is also a national leader in career and technical education and sports a large JROTC program. It was a great time visiting with the principal, who went to the high school himself; he was a stellar athlete as well as a great student, so he had lots of scholarship offers. He chose to stay home close to family. The A-rated high school has a great rich history. It is an honor to present the award to the school for their work with youth.
