In celebration of 20 years of baseball at Plano East, a reunion of former players will be held on Saturday, February 15th at Plano East. All Plano East baseball players from 1982 - 2002 are invited to join their teammates and coaches for festivities, which will include alumni games with the 2003 Plano East baseball team.

- Plano East Senior High Community (PESHC) has changed name to Plano East Network (PEN) to improve its web identity. The web site has been redesigned in conjunction with the name change. PEN will still strive to be the best Plano East Student/Alumni web site it can. I am sorry to announce that the web site, for the first time, will have advertising (banners) on each page. These are required by my free web host. I do not receive any personal gain from the banners aside from the hosting of this web site. Thanks for visiting the site and tell me what you think of the redesign.

You can find this book, logically called PESH Alumni Directory 1994 (Call no. 373.764556 PLA), at the Plano Harrington Library. Names, graduation years, addresses, and telephone numbers have been included. I know this new resource will be useful to many of you searching for old friends. I also found copies of every PESH yearbook at the same library.
5/11/2002- A visitor to the site notified me that Daniel Pastor, salutatorian of the PESH 1999 graduating class, was awarded the Truman scholarship. He is a junior at Princeton, and is currently studying abroad in Chile. Congratulations Daniel!

3/18/2002- Sorry for the lack of updates the past months, I have been concentrating on school work. I have redesigned the web site for better navigation by adding the link bar at the top. Today I am pleased to announce the opening of the PESHC Forum which will hopefully develop into a valuable addition to this web site.

"I just want to say that Plano East was a great school to go to and I still have the same amount of pride that I had when I attended from 1999 - 2001. I also wanna pay my respects to one of my closest friends, Jeremy Backshire, who also attended Plano East and graduated in 2001 with me. He was a great guy and he was friends with everyone. He won't be forgotten."

Send in your pictures to me using this form so that I can include them in the photo gallery. We're not just limited to pictures folks, other forms of media can be accommodated by special arrangement, just e-mail me. You must be tired of seeing my summer pics [Webmaster note: No longer viewable] by now, right?
3/11/2001- Jennifer Lowe, Plano East Class of 2000 Graduate, passed away in a car accident this past Friday (March 9th, 2001). I did not get to know Jennifer beyond recognizing her face passing between classes in my high school career, but she, like all the members of the PESH Class of 2000, contributed to the overall Plano East atmosphere that I loved so much. The Class will not be the same. In service, Kwang Chong

2000
10/14/2000- Plano East varsity football team beat Plano 21-10!
- Removed the never finished "PESH Spanish Club" Section and replaced it with the "PESH C Photo Gallery" section
- I spotted this article (D Magazine Online-Dallas/Fort Worth) about a Plano East graduate.
- I finally figured out why I keep getting blank e-mails from AOL users! My guest book form (Sign the PESH C Guest Book) is incompatible with AOL's software. [Webmaster note: The form has been fixed as of 7/6/2001] Or maybe it's the other way around. I'll try and find a work around. Whilst I work on that, AOL users, please send guest book entries directly to me at planoeast@usa.net [Webmaster note: Obsolete] instead of using the form. Thank you!
10/13/2000- GO EAST! Plano-Plano is tonight!
7/19/2000- Welcome PESH Chess Club members! The PESH Chess Club 1999-2000 Scrapbook can be found in the PESH C Photo Gallery
4/8/2000- I have been humbled. My friend Kate Starwalt passed away yesterday (Friday, April 7th, 2000). The first words about the passing, typed to me over AOL Instant Messenger, were "Do you know what happened to Kate Starwalt?" The wording was peculiar, but I did not expect anything bad. "I heard she died on friday." That made me feel sick in my heart. I did not believe it. I IMed someone else. She confirmed it chillingly with "my dance instructor told me." This was no rumor. I called someone else still not believing. I asked if what I heard about Kate was true. The answer, "yeah." Now I am sitting here reflecting on this. Thanks for listening. You always had a smile on your face, Kate :) . love ya, kwang
4/5/2000- I'm back - part II! This senior year has been HECTIC to say the least, but even when you don't see me post anything new to the "What's New" section, I'm usually silently updating the site. When I do any site changes, though, I always change the "Last updated:" bit, so check that. I'll try and do a major overhaul of the site soon adding the orchestra section, making the chat room (that's been "Under Construction" for quite a while hasn't it?), putting some more pictures up of East, completing the Spanish Club section, and doing many other GREAT (overdue?) things. Until next time.

If we give up Moody Coliseum, we may not be able to get it back!
