Sunday afternoon, Plymouth High School inducted 20 seniors into the Plymouth High School Academic Hall of Fame.
The event took place in the PHS Studio Theatre.
This year marks the 33rd year of the Academic Hall of Fame ceremony, which began in 1986. Recipients of this award must have taken classes in the respective department for a minimum of six semesters and have a minimum of an A average. Many of the departments have additional criteria for determining their senior winner.
During the ceremony, each student received an Academic Hall of Fame medallion. In addition, each recipient’s picture will soon be featured on the 2018-2019 Academic Hall of Fame plaque, which will be on permanent display at Plymouth High School.
Before the actual Academic Hall of Fame ceremony, inductees, their families, and Plymouth High School staff members held a small celebration in honor of the seniors who were being inducted into Academic Hall of Fame.
