Annual Academic Excellence Recognition Dinner
Monday, March 19, 2018

Plymouth High School held the annual Academic Excellence Banquet honoring students in the top 5% of their class on Monday, March 19, 2018. The students, along with their parents and a designated most influential teacher, attended the dinner at Swan Lake Banquet Center in Plymouth. U.S. Granules sponsored the thirty-second annual Academic Excellence Recognition Dinner.

Each of our 12 students received a signature framed academic plaque commemorating their achievement. In addition to the students being recognized, each student presented their most inspirational teacher with a plaque and spoke to the audience about what qualities that teacher possessed to inspire them.

Plymouth High School is delighted to announce this year’s top students have all achieved a current GPA above 4.0!

Please join Plymouth High School in recognizing the top students for their hard work and dedication to excel academically throughout their high school careers.
