On Wednesday, May 20 Plymouth High School inducted 16 seniors into the 2020 Plymouth High School Academic Hall of Fame. This year marks the 34th year of the Academic Hall of Fame ceremony. A virtual awards program hosted by Plymouth High School Assistant Principal Josh Martin ensured that our Seniors had the proper celebration. 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. Individual departments may have additional criteria for determining their senior winner. Just like in past years, each PHS Academic Hall of Fame student recipient will receive an Academic Hall of Fame medallion. In addition, each recipient’s picture will be featured on the 2019-2020 PHS Academic Hall of Fame plaque, which will be on permanent display in the lobby area of Plymouth High School. Below are the names of the PHS Academic Hall of Fame seniors who were inducted into the Academic Hall of Fame, along with each of their areas of study. A video link to the PHS Academic Hall of Fame 2020 Awards program can be found on the PHS website and social media platforms.
