PLYMOUTH SOUTH'S ATHLETES OF THE WEEK
The Plymouth South High School Athletic Department, in conjunction with G & G Silk Screening of Plymouth, is pleased to announce their "Athletes of the Week." Students are nominated by their coaches and, along with photos posted in the gym foyer, are awarded T-shirts from G & G. The female "Athlete of the Week" is currently Girls' Soccer player Jayci Andrews (grade 10). During Monday's game Jayci scored three goals against Dennis-Yarmouth ending in an 8-0 win. On Wednesday she scored the game winning goal 3-0. Jayci completed her week with a total of four goals. The male "Athlete of the Week" is Jr. Soccer player Tevin Crocker (grade 11). Crocker is a first year varsity player who has earned a starting position. Not only does he shut down top defenders from other teams, he is involved in South offense. Scores for last week included wins over Sacred Heart 2-0 and D-Y 5-2. Undoubtedly, Crocker will meet the challenge again this week when South takes on Marshfield and Pembroke.
Congratulations to WEEK TWO winners!
Due to the EEE status of our area, all games at Plymouth South High School will be played during the day, not the evening, until the first frost. The only change in the near future is the football game for homecoming weekend. This has been moved to 4:00 p.m. on Friday, September 28th vs. Hingham High School. We will keep you updated on any additional changes. Thank you for your support!
We are working towards setting up an Interview Closet for our students at PSHS who are going on job and college interviews.
If you are cleaning out your closet, we are in need of the following gently worn, clean dress clothes for both male and female students in all sizes:
* Male: Shirts, dress pants, belts, dress shoes, ties, sports jackets
* Female: Dress pants, shirts, blouses, dresses, skirts, jackets, shoes and belts
Unfortunately we have situations where students who have job opportunities do not have suitable attire for an interview, so we would like to have these clothes available for the students to either borrow or take as they need. All students are welcome. The "Interview Closet" is located in the Graphics shop (room 10). Please feel free to drop off any clothes you feel are suitable (hangers also welcome) and/or e-mail/call if you have a student in need. Thanks to Mrs. Kate Colozzi who is organizing the closet!
Congrats to the PSHS Girls Field Hockey team for a tremendous win against Marshfield High School. Congrats to the girls and their coaches.
The following students are spending the day at Bridgewater State College involved with the MARC anti-bullying program. They are the leaders of our anti-bullying efforts.

Sophomores: Dylan Finlay, Drew Guadagno and Ryan Harty.
Juniors and Seniors will have the opportunity to attend the Presidential Inauguration. Students in Mr. Walkers and/or Ms. Shaver's classes have received information. Please contact the school with any questions!
Plymouth South High School would like to congratulate its students on the impressive scores they received on the spring 2012 MCAS tests. Every student who took the ELA test earned a passing score! Better yet, over 100 students earned scores in the "Advanced" category. Failures in the math and science categories are in the single digits, and the good news is that our students are also gaining more points on each of these tests. For instance, the number of students who fell into the "Needs Improvement" category in math has been declining and, in fact, is nearly half the number of students in this category in 2009. There are also many more "Advanced" scores in the math (over 100 students) and science (over 80 students) tests than in past years.
Student's results are being mailed home today.
We are proud of the students' test results. We'd also like to thank all of the teachers, tutors, and parents who ensured the students were prepared to do a good job when the testing days arrived. Passing the MCAS tests is a graduation requirement, and we want all Plymouth South High School students to have a diploma that represents a high school experience that has prepared them to be successful on their college or career paths.
