Plymouth Early Childhood Center
PECC Orientation Orientation was a huge success! We are so excited to get to know the students and their families. Students practiced sitting for circle, walking in a line, playing and making new friends. | Some students were measured to keep track of how much they will grow over the school year. Some classes even planted bulbs to watch them grow. Who do you think will grow more over the course of this year... the bulbs or the students? | Thank you PTA!...for a fun back to school ice cream social! We got to see old friends and make some new friends. It's going to be a great year! |

South Elementary School
South Elementary has had an incredible start to our new school year. We kicked off our year with an energetic welcome back gathering on the blacktop. Classes have been working together establishing their classroom communities and getting familiar with routines. We love our new kindergarten friends and the students in older grades have been so welcoming. There’s nothing better than a fresh school year!

West Elementary School
West School had a great start to the school year.
Welcome Class of 2013!


Plymouth Community Intermediate School


Seven hundred ten bright-eyed, shiny-faced, eager middle schoolers entered through the doors of Plymouth South Middle School last week. Sixth graders were welcomed by their homeroom teachers at the front door while the experienced upperclassmen greeted old friends as they hurried to their lockers. Smiles were seen everywhere. All in all, the first day of school earned a big two thumbs up!

Plymouth North High School
Freshmen in the Principles of Biomedical Science class at Plymouth North High School arrived to find a crime scene - and the body of poor deceased Anna Garcia! The students immediately got to work researching how crime scenes are investigated, then actually processing the scene. Students created a crime scene sketch to scale of not only the body but all of the potential evidence found near the body. These students will now spend the entire year studying the forensic evidence, medical histories of the victim and autopsy reports along with potential suspects to compile a case as to what happened to Anna Garcia. Their work is just beginning!



Plymouth South High School
Thank you PLYMOUTH...and we have fields and lights! Thank you parents and students for your patience over the past few years during the construction project - we now can see the final product and it's pretty special!

PSHS Staff Meet Dr. Buchanan. After hearing Dr. Maestas' story and theme for the year, she felt inspired to share more about who she is. For anyone who knows Kristen Buchanan knows she's an inspiration to a lot of us here at the PSHS. | Embrace We are excited to share our staff with you, as we're receiving more "This is Me" photos. | "This Is Me" Thank you for this wonderful idea, Mrs. Buchanan! More to come. |
