Plymouth North High School and Ithacappella Play To A Packed House
On Tuesday evening, the VPA Department presented a night of a cappella to a sold out audience in North's Performing Arts Center. The concert featured Ithacappella, Ithaca College's all-male a cappella group, who had performed there last year to rave reviews and was greeted by another incredibly enthusiastic audience this week. Joining Ithacappella were PNHS's three a cappella groups; Northern Lights, Girl Treble and Menergy.
This is a picture of Northern Lights and Ithacappella combining for an encore at the end of the concert.
Winter Sports Captain's Lunch
On Tuesday, January 14th the North and South athletic departments hosted their annual Winter Sports Captain's Lunch. In attendance were all the winter sports captains, coaches, and administration from both high schools and central office. The guest speaker was former Patriot Tony Collins, who delivered a very inspiring message to the student athletes about his road to becoming a professional athlete stressing the importance of making good choices and putting time into their academics.
Tony spent nine seasons in the NFL with the New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins. Tony attended East Carolina University until he was selected in the second round of the NFL Draft in 1981. Although Tony did not complete his undergraduate degree during his initial time at East Carolina, realizing the value of an education, he has since gone back to school to pursue his bachelor's degree in communications. Through his experience as a parent of eight and his charitable work with the "Tony Collins Foundation," Tony has developed a deep appreciation for the advantages athletics and academics can provide and hopes to spread that message to families around the country.
