In memory of Dennis Pelisek
Student (1962-65); Staff (1970-94)
St John's High School Alumni,
We are sorry to have to announce the passing of a well loved teacher from St John's. Dennis Pelisek died November 6th (AM). Many will remember him from Junior High Social Studies, or high school Geography; he also coached both male and female freshman basketball for years. He will be sadly missed.
Thank you Frank Unger for this contribution
The St. John's Alumni group is sad to report that we have lost a very valuable member of our Alumni Committee.
​
