Students play faculty at Palatine High School to raise money for charity
Palatine High School’s students vs. faculty charity basketball game Feb. 24 helped raise money for the school’s Ray Mills Fund, which benefits less fortunate students at the school.
The game featured a faculty team pitted against a senior high school team, with the student team winning 44-37 to break a five-year string of victories for the faculty squad.
The event was organized by the PHS Leadership for Life class and all athletes and entertainers were school students or staff members.
