At PHS, they recently started a tutoring program to provide support for students who are struggling academically. During Plus Time Tutoring, students are paired up with NHS students to help boost their GPAs and decrease failure rates. Teachers, counselors or parents refer students to the program or students can request a Plus Time Tutor. Throughout the school year, the program has grown and we now have over 20 active tutoring partnerships where our Trojans are helping other Trojans find success in the classroom. PLAINWELL PRIDE!
