“These students do so much more than just cheer at games. It is nice to see this success and recognition,” Plainfield North High Principal Raymond Epperson said.
Plainfield North students helped raise more than $17,000 for childhood cancer research by holding a St. Baldrick's event, for example. Last fall, the entire student section wore pink breast cancer awareness T-shirts to a football game, Epperson said.
“They represent one of the many things that are right with Plainfield North High School,” he said.
