High School Summit

Three Plymouth High School educators attended the first-to-be-annual High School Summit in Indianapolis last week. Hundreds of presented innovative instructional and curricular strategies being used all over the state of Indiana. Principal Richard Tobias was present at the two-day conference and noted that it was the best conference that he had ever attended. Ben Waymouth, high school social studies instructor, presented on the portfolio system used at PHS. Director of Counseling, Aimee Portteus presented on Gold Star Counseling and Learning Communities.

We would encourage both high school and junior high teachers to attend the summit next year. As high schools are reshaped to meet the demands of the future, collaboration of this high caliber is something our educators can't miss.
