President Clinton Visits Phoenixville Area High School - a photo essay
April 15, 2008
William Jefferson Clinton, the 42nd President of the United States, paid a visit to the students of the Phoenixville Area High School on Tuesday. PAHS Principal Richard Kaskey said he was very pleased to be able to provide this immensely educational experience for the students. Students from the junior and senior classes attended the speech, while members of the sophomore and freshman classes watched President Clinton's address via closed-circuit television in their classrooms. Students from the Phoenixville Area Middle School also had the opportunity to watch the address via a live-feed website.
