The history of Bushnell-Prairie City High School is also the history of these original component schools. Bushnell High School It is not known when the school system in Bushnell was started. A consolidation effort between the towns of Bushnell and Prairie City took place in the early 1950s. The effort was realized in 1952. A new school was developed and is now called Bushnell- Prairie City High School. BPCHS built a new building on the grounds where the original building once stood. Bushnell High School's mascot was the Braves, and the school's colors were blue and purple.http://www.illinoishsglorydays.com/id50.html Prairie City High School The first school building in Prairie City was established in 1855, just one year after the town was platted. The town's growth was remarkable, reaching a population of 1,500 by 1860. By 1875 that number had settled to about 800. A learning "Academy" was established in 1857 for the Prairie City kids by a local church and was supported by the town's people. This idea soon went by the wayside and the school building was used for public school purposes. A high school curriculum was established in Prairie City by the late 19th century. Prairie City High School served the community for about six decades. It was at some point in the early 1950s that the communities of Bushnell and Prairie City decided to pool their educational resources. This effort was realized in 1952. It was then that Prairie City High School closed and the Bushnell-Prairie City School District was opened.http://www.illinoishsglorydays.com/id418.html Even though the High School classes were relocated to Bushnell as a result of the Bushnell-Prairie City (B-PC) consolidation, the school remained as the Prairie City Elementary School grades 1 through 8 until 1962. Grades 7 & 8 then relocated to the B-PC Jr. High School (the former Bushnell High School bldg. in Bushnell). Grades 1 through 6 remained until the early 1970s.Marc Young, Summary of Events of Prairie City High School, Illinois High School Glory Days, Prairie City High School. Retrieved February 5, 2010. The original Prairie City High School building has been torn down. Prairie City High School's mascot was the Cobras, and its colors were blue and white. Future consolidation talks Beginning in late 2008 the Bushnell-Prairie City School District began discussing reorganization or consolidation with neighboring school districts. In the summer of 2009 a feasibility study was commissioned to investigate the possibilities of consolidation with neighboring Avon and Abingdon school districts. The results of the study were released in January 2010. The recommendations of the study included: consolidation of all three districts into one unit district, placement of the combined high school in the current Bushnell-Prairie City High/Middle School buildings, placement of the combined middle school in the current Abingdon High/Middle School, and keeping the current elementary buildings in place.Accessed February 5, 2010 Midwestern School Consultants, Dr. William Phillips, Dr. Scott Day, Dr. Leonard Bogle; Reorganization Feasibility Study for Avon/Abingdon/Bushnell-Prairie City Study; January, 2010 References External links * Bushnell-Prairie City High School * Bushnell-Prairie City Community Unit School District Category:Public high schools in Illinois Category:Schools in McDonough County, Illinois "

"United Nations Security Council resolution 580, adopted unanimously on 30 December 1985, having heard representations from Lesotho and recalling Resolution 527 (1982), the Council condemned the recent attacks on the Kingdom of Lesotho by South Africa, resulting in loss of life and damage to property on 19 December, in which several South African refugees were murdered in Lesotho's capital Maseru by the South African Defence Force. The Council demanded South Africa pay compensation to Lesotho, calling upon all parties concerned to normalise their relations and to apply established channels of communication on matters of mutual concern in a peaceful manner. It reminded South Africa to live up to its commitments not to destabilise neighbouring countries, and to begin the process of dismantling apartheid. The resolution then requested Member States and international organisations provide economic assistance to Lesotho due to the damage caused by the attacks. Lastly, the resolution required the Secretary-General to establish a presence in Lesotho compromising of one or two civilians in Maseru for the purposes of keeping him informed on developments. It also asked him to report to the Security Council as appropriate on developments in the region.
