Quest Charter Academy – The Peoria Area Chamber has been an active partner is starting Peoria’s math, science and technology charter school.  Several staff and board members were among the founding board members for the school and for several months, the Chamber housed the school’s principal and administrative assistant waiting for the school building to be available.  As the school opens in August 2010, the Chamber will continue to play an active role in developing partnerships between the business community and the school as well as offering other support and assistance as needed.  For more information on Quest Charter Academy, please contact Roberta Parks at 495-5920 or rparks@chamber.h-p.org.
