The children in Panthers’ Cubhouse had a visit from one of our culinary teachers, Mrs. Martin. Mrs. Martin showed both the high school students and the children how to make rolls.

The young students added the ingredients to a large pot which they transported to the Culinary kitchen. The preschoolers were able to both participate and watch this process. After the work in the kitchen, the preschoolers and high schoolers twisted the dough into rolls.

The students were each given a bag of rolls to take home to enjoy! Great collaboration between the culinary and childcare programs.

Another collaborative project took place this fall with our carpentry students and preschool children. The young children took a field trip to the Construction Cluster. This was linked to their work regarding being community helpers.

Upon arrival in the construction cluster, the high school carpentry and plumbing students and teachers helped the young children create a birdhouse. Please see the pictures below that demonstrate both the high school students and the children hard at work!

On Monday, October 24th, the sophomore Engineering class at PNHS participated in a field trip to the First Annual "Blue Future" Conference with a focus on Plymouth's Marine Economy and Technology.

Students participated in a panel discussion with Engineers, Human Resource Employees, Business Owners, and Entrepreneurs to discuss career readiness, internships, and opportunities in various disciplines of Engineering including Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) software development.

The relevancy of this field trip for our students in Engineering was invaluable.

The Lights of Hope Team and Plymouth South Marketing

Facilities Management teacher, Mr. South, conducted a lesson for students regarding the use of drones. The drones are able to capture overhead pictures and these assist on construction jobs. These types of new advances in the construction field are imperative for our students to learn to keep up with the many changes and advancements in the trades.

Graphic Design & Visual Communications (GDVC) held their 2nd annual Horror Film Fest. This year, the event was larger than last year with a total of 26 entries. The pure talent, artistry skills, attention to detail, professionalism, and creativity in all the films were fantastic. Thank you to everyone that came out and showed their support and to the teachers who helped facilitate this event.
