The Pelham Memorial High School Centennial Celebration
In celebration of the PMHS Centennial, the Town Historian reported on the history of:
The construction of PMHS
The first graduating class of PMHS
"The Pelican Parade" PMHS Fight Song and its author, Jordan Smith, PMHS 1928
The Pelican Mascot of PMHS
The oldest living PMHS Alums
Inspired by the success of Peham's own Kate Douglas in qualifying for the 2020 (2021) U.S. Olympic Team (who went on to win a bronze medal), the Town Historian embarked on a research project to identify past Pelham Olympians and, in some cases, to track down their descendants and obtain never-before published information and photographs. Here's the story of the fourteen identified Pelhamite Olympians.
