'''Plainfield High School - Central Campus''', or '''PHS-CC''', is a four-year [[Public school (government funded)|public]] [[high school]] in [[Plainfield, Illinois]], a southwest suburb of [[Chicago]], [[Illinois]], in the [[United States]]. It is part of [[Plainfield Community Consolidated School District 202]], which also includes three other high schools: [[Plainfield South High School]], [[Plainfield North High School]] and [[Plainfield East High School]].

==Campus history==

[[Image:PHSCC Sign.JPG|200px|thumb|right|PHSCC Welcome Sign]]

The original building was destroyed by one of the worst tornadoes in Illinois history.
The [[Plainfield Tornado]], which was rated an [[F5 tornado|F5]], struck the town on August 28, 1990, one day before classes were scheduled to begin.
Three faculty and staff members lost their lives.
Had school been in session, casualties could have been even more grave, as the tornado hit the school directly.
In the middle of the 1992–1993 school year students moved into the new PHS building.
At the time, it was one of the most technically advanced high schools in the state of Illinois, complete with its own observatory.

In 1998, the school added a "Freshman Center" with its own [[gym]]nasium and [[cafeteria]].
The new freshman center has three floors and is connected to the main building by an enclosed [[skyway|catwalk]]. In the 2008-2009 school year, the freshman cafeteria was changed to the senior cafe. Then was changed back to the freshman cafeteria in the 2012-2013 school year.

In 2005, the school constructed a new snack building and restrooms on the south end of the football–track [[stadium]].
In 2007, a new home [[grandstand]] was constructed, replacing the visitors' seating on the west side of the football field, and the former home grandstand was converted into visitor seating.
The new home grandstand was built using only steel, contrasting with the former home seating which was constructed of [[brick]] and [[concrete]].
The grandstand opening had been planned for the pre-season 'Green and White Night' event, but construction set-backs led to its opening about one month late.

With the addition of a larger home grandstand, [[shot put]] and [[discus]] fields were relocated further west, behind the new grandstand.

Also in 2007, the faculty installed over 300 [[high-resolution]] [[wireless network|wireless]] [[camera]]s to monitor the campus.
New computer security measures were implemented which [[Content-control software|block]] some [[internet]] [[proxy server]]s, game-related sites, and other sites that the school district felt distracted their students from the educational process (like Wikipedia).
The school replaced all its computers and monitors with [[Dell]] [[personal computers|computers]] with [[LCD screen]]s.
In the 2008-2009 school year, classroom projectors that could display what was on the current teacher's computer were installed.

On June 9, 2008, [[severe weather]] resulted in damage to the tennis court fences and school roof.
There were no confirmed reports of a tornado.

It is important to note that, since Central is the "original campus", it gets the most love of any PSD 202 school. They are constantly funded over peer schools. German programs at East and North were consolidated to Central despite Central's lower testing averages. They are responsible for some of the horrendous school colors in the district, as each other high school is required to have at least one of the "original" colors.

==Activities==

===Athletics===
Plainfield Central competes in the [[Southwest Prairie Conference]] and [[Illinois High School Association]].
The school has teams for both boys and girls for most available sports, including golf, bowling, basketball, volleyball, soccer, swimming, tennis, track, and cross-country.
A few sports have only teams for girls, including badminton, softball, cheerleading, and poms.
Another short list has only teams for boys: baseball, football, wrestling, and hockey.

Despite being able to trace its existence back to 1891, Plainfield Central has never won a Team Illinois State Championship.

====Hall of Fame====
In the spring of 1998, the high school established its athletic hall of fame to honor athletes, coaches, boosters, and fans who have made significant contributions to the athletic programs. The first class was inducted in 1999.

====Football====
The Wildcats have experienced mixed results in football recently. Coached by 27-year coaching veteran John Jackson. In 2008, the Wildcats went 8-1, including a 7-0 record in the SPC. However, they were upset in the first round in the state playoffs. The Widcats had a rather disappointing 2009 campaign, going 4-5 and missing the playoffs by one game after losing the final contest of the season to the [[Minooka High School]] Indians. The decline continued in 2010, when the varsity team went 2-7 for the season. The team rebounded in 2011, finishing the campaign at 5-4, missing the state playoffs by one game after a disappointing week 9 loss to [[Romeoville High School]]. The Wildcats improved the next season, finishing the regular season at 6-3 and finally breaking the playoff dry spell. However, their first round game was at the state powerhouse [[Lincoln-Way East High School]] Griffins, and the Wildcats lost 47-22. This makes it 10 years since Plainfield Central has won an [[Illinois High School Association|IHSA]] State Playoff football game.

* Mixed Choir, an introductory level choir;

'''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.<ref>[http://pehs.psd202.org/pages/Plainfield_East_High_School/About_Us/About_PEHS "About PEHS"]</ref> 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.

It is important to note that in many ways, Plainfield East is superior to its fellow PSD 202 schools. For one thing, the Plainfield East Football Team is unrivaled. Also, upon comparison, the average ACT score is higher at East than any other high school in the district. The Marching Bengals deserve a special mention for their dedication to excellance.

To conclude:
I believe.
I believe that.
I believe that we.
I believe that we can.
I believe that we can win.
I believe that we can win, I believe that we can win, I believe that we can win.
