The Patrick Henry High School Patriot Booster Club is cooking up a new idea to raise funds for the youth at Patrick Henry and they are inviting former and current Patrick Henry students, parents, staff, volunteers, and alumni to get involved.  If that includes you, please consider contributing your favorite recipe to the Patriot Recipes cookbook effort. When finished, the Patriot Recipes, will be a booklet of favorite recipes from the Patrick Henry Community and all proceeds from the sales of the cookbook will be used solely for the benefit of the students at Patrick Henry.  This is done by financially supporting the various clubs, educational events and athletics at the school. In addition to collecting favorite recipes, they are inviting you to contribute photos, stories, memories, or sage advice. The cookbook will be sold at a reasonable price at Patrick Henry events where the Boosters are present, which includes many athletic events and open houses. All entries will be kept and not returned, so keep the original in a safe place. The Boosters are hoping to receive your recipes and anecdotes by the end of the school year.

From having a father serving as principal, to now working at Patrick Henry High School, it is no wonder that Mark Kociemba has an interest in the history of Henry. He now serves as an education assistant at Henry and is the sponsor for student government and the non-certified staff representative on the site council. However, his recent impassioned interest involves working with the Archives of Patrick Henry, which he has been doing for the last two years. Kociemba says that he has always liked history. His father is former Henry Principal Dr. Gary Kociemba and that is with whom Mark Kociemba’s interest in the school’s history was inspired. He says, “I wanted to know what makes Patrick Henry, Patrick Henry.”
