PECHS Seniors Tour in Washington, D.C.

Members of the PECHS Class of 2017 recently toured in Washington, D.C. as an enrichment activity for their U.S. Government classes.  The trip was organized by Assistant Principal Dr. Maurice Smith, with the help of U.S. Congressman Tom Garrett.  While in the nation’s capital, the students toured the Supreme Court Building, the Capitol, the Lincoln Memorial, and several Smithsonian museums. A highlight of the Supreme Court tour was an informative 30-minute lecture in the courtroom itself.  Congressional aides led detailed tours in the Capitol, including the Rotunda, Old Senate Chamber, and Old Supreme Court.
