We wrapped up our holiday performances at the Plainwell Performing Arts Center at the 2024 PHS Winter Musicale Concert. The evening was filled with outstanding performances by the PHS Choir and Band departments. It was a wonderfully festive and beautiful evening - special thanks to the students, Mr. Hepinstall, Mr. Rushford and Ms. Ernst for another phenomenal evening at the PAC!
If you were unable to attend or if you would like to view the performance again, visit the Plainwell Performing Arts Center Facebook page where you will find the full concert featured.
The PHS students and staff were greeted by special carolers this morning. Several choir students performed to start the final day of school before winter holiday break. 🎄
The PHS Multicultural Club had an amazing opportunity to spread holiday cheer at the Life Care Center’s Christmas party before the holidays! Students played games, assisted in serving food, helped residents open their gifts and shared joy with everyone there. It was a heartwarming experience that reminded us all of the true spirit of the season.

Recently, students from PHS’ AP French class embarked on a journey to Quebec to prepare for their AP Exam in May. The trip included visits to Ottawa, Quebec City and Montreal. In Ottawa, they toured the House of Commons and gained insight into the Canadian Government. In Quebec City, founded in 1608, students explored both the lower and upper towns, admired the Chateau Frontenac, shopped at the German Christmas market and participated in a ghost tour. Just outside Quebec, they marveled at Montmorency Falls, the tallest waterfall in North America. They enjoyed a slice of homemade bread with maple butter at Chez Marie, a bakery dating back to 1652. Next, they visited the Saint Anne de Beaupre Cathedral before heading to Montreal, where they explored the city and attended a stunning sound and light show at the Notre Dame Cathedral. It was an amazing trip, including six nights and 1,907 miles, and phenomenal experience for the Trojans!
