During her junior year at PHS, student Sadie Boven, completed a captivating wall mural at Plainwell Middle School. The mural is prominently showcased in the hall of the science wing at PMS. Sadie's artwork encompasses sections dedicated to science, math, social studies and English. She attributes her inspiration to Mrs. Beltowski, “who encourages my creativity and inspires me to be bold and colorful”. Sadie's remarkable artistic skills have left a lasting impression, and we are grateful that she has shared her talents for everyone to appreciate at the Middle School for many years to come - Trojan Pride!

It's been a few weeks since we celebrated our seniors at the 2024 graduation, but we wanted to share some additional pictures to highlight the ceremony. The weather provided a perfect evening at Streidl Field to honor the 186 graduates from the Class of 2024. We are incredibly proud of the graduating class for all of the hard work and dedication to their education during their time at PHS! Thank you for allowing Plainwell Community Schools to be a part of your educational journey - Trojan Pride!
The PHS Varsity Softball team concluded their season on a high note last Saturday, showcasing their best performance yet. Despite not securing a win against Vicksburg in the district game, they played exceptionally well. In an earlier Vicksburg vs. Plainwell game this season, it resulted in a mercy rule after three innings. However, in Districts, the team demonstrated outstanding defense by limiting Vicksburg to only one run for multiple innings. The team excelled with Samantha McDaniel's excellent pitching, Liv Perrin's solid performance as catcher, Sophia Barth's exceptional plays at first base, as well as impressive plays from Emma Preuss, Gabby Northern and Sophie Munch. Shortstop Madison Seibert made seven crucial outs during the game. The Plainwell Softball program is dedicated to continuous learning and growth, showing improvement in each game throughout the season. GO TROJANS!
