==History== ==History==
===The original Plymouth High School===
The original Plymouth High School was built in the early 20th century on the northwest corner of Main Street and Church Street, opposite from present-day City Hall in present-day downtown ]. The district deemed the facility to be outdated by the 1960s for high school use. It was closed after the 1969-1970 school year.


===The original Plymouth High School (and later Salem High School)===
When the first new high school opened in the present-day Plymouth-Canton Educational Park, the original Plymouth High School was converted into a ], dubbed Central Middle School (in conjunction with the more recently constructed East and West Middle Schools). Central Middle School remains a landmark in down town and is still in operation as a middle school as part of the Plymouth-Canton Community School District. When Plymouth opened it only let in Freshmen, and the next year Freshmen and Sophomores, etc.

The district deemed the facility to be outdated by the 1960s for high school use. The facility was closed as a high school after the 1969–70 school year and used exclusively for 9th grade in 1970–71 and 1971–72.
===Salem Rocks===
In the early 1900s, Plymouth High School first opened its doors to the cities of Plymouth and Canton. The original building was located downtown Plymouth. The original high later became a middle school known as "Central". The school was self-contained, as it was constructed to contain all of the amenities its student body would require at the time. The main entrance to the newer high school, the North Mall, faces Joy Road. The North Mall provides access to a connecting corridor between the principal classrooms on the building's west side, and the athletic facilities and theater on the east side. The administrative offices and cafeteria are also located on the first floor on the west side, as is the school store.


When the first new high school opened in the present-day Plymouth-Canton Educational Park, the original Plymouth High School was converted into a ], dubbed Central Middle School (in conjunction with the previously constructed East and West Middle Schools). Central Middle School closed after the 2014–15 school year.
Originally planned to simply remain Plymouth High School, the school's name was changed to Plymouth-Salem High School after Canton opened. Although the school district serves much of rural Salem Township, Salem residents were not necessarily exclusive to Plymouth-Salem.

Plymouth High's colors of red, white, and blue, were split up, with Plymouth-Salem retaining blue and white, and the eventual Canton High School teams taking the red with white. Plymouth-Salem retained their "Rocks" mascot; supposedly named for the large unmovable boulder that sits outside the school. It is tradition for students to spray paint this rock for school events and to celebrate important sports victories.

Plymouth-Salem retained their "Rocks" mascot; supposedly named for the large unmovable boulder that sits outside the school. The rock was moved during the renovations in 2008.
Salem is divided into two main sections, east and west. The east side contains the swimming pool and Logan Auditorium on the north side, and a two-level gymnasium on the south side, divided by a wide central hallway leading to the east entrance of the school. A staircase leads to the second-floor corridor near the entrance to the auditorium. The west side contains three floors of classrooms, as well as the cafeteria on the southeast side of the first floor. Administrative offices are located on the northeast side of the first two floors. The center of the second floor is dominated by the school library, and also features the studio for radio station ]. Stairwells on the north and south sides provide access to all three floors, and an elevator provides access for students unable to use the stairs.


Salem is divided into two main sections, North and South. The north side contains the swimming pool and the Gloria Logan Auditorium, and a two-level gymnasium on the south side, divided by a wide central hallway leading to the east entrance of the school. A staircase leads to the second-floor corridor near the entrance to the auditorium. The west side contains three floors of classrooms, as well as the cafeteria on the southeast side of the first floor. Administrative offices are located on the northeast side of the first two floors. The center of the second floor is dominated by the school library, and also features the studio for radio station ]. Stairwells on the north and south sides, referred to as the North Tower and South Tower, respectively, provide access to all three floors, and an elevator provides access for students unable to use the stairs.
One of the more distinctive features of the school building was its large ramp at the North Mall, which provided direct access to the second floor of classrooms. What made this ramp unusual were the three steps placed at the bottom of the ramp, purposely making vehicle access impractical. The ramp was demolished in the early 1990s, and the North Mall was revamped to provide a more appealing façade, while the South Mall was eliminated in favor of an expanded cafeteria. The school underwent renovations from 2006 to 2008.


In the early 1990s the North Mall was revamped, while the South Mall was eliminated in favor of an expanded cafeteria. The school underwent renovations from 2006 to 2008, and went through renovations for more office space in 2011.
In 2002, with the opening of the new Plymouth High School as part of the PCEP, "Plymouth" was dropped from Salem's name. Salem High School retained the "Rocks" nickname, logo, and colors of blue and white. The Salem Rocks logo is the same as ]'s ] logo, rendered in Salem's darker shade of blue, with an additional outer circle added featuring "Salem" on top and "Rocks" on bottom ("Plymouth-Salem" on top prior to 2002).


In 2002, with the opening of the new Plymouth High School as part of the PCEP, "Plymouth" was dropped from Salem and Canton's name. Individually the high schools are known as Salem High School, Canton High School and Plymouth High School.

===Canton Chiefs=== ===Plymouth High School===
Opened in August 2002 and constructed southwest of Salem High School, the new Plymouth High School was designed by the architecture firm French Associates.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.frenchaia.com/index.asp?section=C7F61BA3DB4D4CA48AE8ACBBF704B2F1&page=4AA6AA862B2B4E8E815F49C843A3D1C9 |title=French Associates: high school portfolio - Plymouth High School |access-date=2009-03-01 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060326014248/http://www.frenchaia.com/index.asp?section=C7F61BA3DB4D4CA48AE8ACBBF704B2F1&page=4AA6AA862B2B4E8E815F49C843A3D1C9 |archive-date=2006-03-26 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The students selected to be Plymouth High's first senior class, the Class of 2006, were polled during their 6th grade year to come up with the school's colors and mascot. Their selection, the Predators (after the ] of the ]), was met with opposition from some parents who associated it with sexual predators. As a result, the school decided to use the generic "Wildcats" nickname, while still using the ] logo of the Nashville Predators. Plymouth's school colors were to be purple and white (a combination of the red and blue of Salem and Canton), but they were changed to black and silver.
Opening as Plymouth-Canton High School in 1972, Canton has a strikingly darker appearance than its big brother school, Salem. Darker bricks and metallic protrusions provide a stark contrast to Salem's lighter bricks and rounded corners. Canton was built without any athletic facilities of its own supporting the idea of "The Park"; these came later, in the form of an independent building just north of the school, dubbed Phase III (currently identified as Canton North). Two parallel corridors run north-south through the building, with the library, cafeteria, and the DuBois Theater (formerly Little Theater) located between them. The administration offices are off the east corridor, near the main entrance. The bulk of the classrooms are located on the first and second floors on the north side of the building, with vocational classes located at the far south end.


==Campus==
In addition to Canton's sports, Phase III was home to the PCEP Marching Band, until the new Plymouth HS was built containing new band facilities. PCEP Orchestra remains in Canton North. Originally, Phase III was not directly accessible by car from Canton's parking lot, and had to be accessed from the Salem lot instead. When Canton's parking lot was renovated in the 1990s, a bridge over the creek separating Canton from Phase III was constructed, finally giving full access. The Canton football team has become a fierce competitor as a result of their "hide-the-ball" offense known as the Wing-T.
]
The campus covers 305 acres, much of which encompasses athletic fields.{{cn|date=May 2022}} Students can have classes in all three academic buildings. One advantage to the 3-in-1 idea is reduced cost: there is only one ] (at Canton), one culinary arts facility (at Salem), two ]s for photography (one at Salem, one at Canton), one varsity football field (at Canton), two swimming pools (at Salem & Canton), two soccer and football fields (at Canton and Plymouth), one Robotics Shop (at Canton), one choir complex (at Salem) one orchestra complex (at Canton), and one band complex (at Plymouth).


For most of its history, the campus has contained Canton High School and Salem High School, with a great rivalry built between the two neighbors. For many years the campus operated under block scheduling, seen as an innovative way to allow for longer periods of uninterrupted teaching time.{{cn|date=May 2022}} After many years, The Park resorted back to a traditional schedule with 6 classes per day and 2 semesters of classes per year.
Canton High School's team name is the Chiefs. Their logo is an arrowhead, identical to the logo of the ] of the ]. Prior to dropping "Plymouth" from its name in 2002 when Plymouth High School opened, the logo featured the letters "PC" in front of the arrowhead, in the same font and arrangement as the NFL team's logo. Since 2002, a large italic "C" is superimposed over the arrowhead. Now in 2009 they changed their logo to a Red Block C. The school has also used a secondary logo of a Native American chief's head, but is usually unused. The school colors remain red and white. Canton provides many clubs and sports. In addition to the formal online school resources, the school's parents, coaches and boosters proudly and voluntarily contribute content related to their group and team activities at .


Prior to the summer of 2006, the Cady family barn was also a part of the campus. It has since been moved to the Canton Township Cherry Hill village area next to a historic home.{{cn|date=May 2022}} The Cady family barn burned down at this new location on May 30, 2021.<ref>{{Cite web |url= https://plymouthvoice.com/fire-at-historic-barn-ruled-accidental/ |title=Fire at Historic Barn Ruled Accidental|date=30 June 2021 |access-date=2022-09-19}}</ref> Included on the campus grounds is also a small strip of forest that backs a nearby neighborhood. Various trails are scattered throughout the wooded area. An ] can be found in the wooded area, and is visited by earth science and ecology classes yearly. A creek that is part of the ] watershed runs through the campus.
===Plymouth Wildcats===
Opened in August 2002, and constructed southwest of Salem High School, the new Plymouth High School was designed by the architecture firm French Associates <ref></ref>. The students selected to be Plymouth High's first senior class, the Class of 2006, were polled to come up with a new nickname for the school. Their selection, the Predators (after the ] of the ]), was met with opposition from some parents, in the conservative community, who associated it with sexual predators. As a result, the school decided to use the generic "Wildcats" nickname, while still using the ] logo of the Nashville Predators. Plymouth's school colors were to be black and purple, but were changed to black and silver. In addition to the formal online school resources, the school's parents, coaches and boosters proudly and voluntarily contribute content related to their group and team activities .


==Extracurricular activities==
==Campus==
The campus is 305 acres (1.2&nbsp;km²), although much of this is athletic fields. There are four academic buildings: Canton High School, Plymouth High School, Salem High School, and Phase III, also known as Canton North. Students may have classes in all four buildings, even though each student is assigned to one "home school" which he or she is to graduate from and play sports for. Students also get approximately 10 minutes to walk in-between their classes (rain, snow, sleet, or SHINE). There has been criticism that it is unsafe for students to walk though several inches of snow as many as six times a day, but the administration still gives snow days as rarely as possible. One advantage to the 3-in-1 idea is cost-cutting: there is only one ] (at Canton), one culinary arts facility (at Salem), one varsity football field (at Canton), two swimming pools (at Salem & Canton), one varsity soccer field (at Canton), and one junior varsity football field (at Plymouth).


There are clubs dedicated to different languages, cultures, and lifestyles, such as the African American Student Association, Hispanic Students' Association (HLSA), Asian Pacific American Club (APAC), Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA), Polish American Club, Indian-American Student Association (IASA), French Club, Muslim Student Association (MSA), Middle Eastern Student Association, Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA), ], and the Diversity Council. An annual Celebration of Diversity (COD) is held by some cultural clubs for support and recognition.
The campus has gone through many changes throughout its history, from its early years with only Salem High School where the facility operated like the traditional high school it was. For most of its history, the campus has contained Canton High School and Salem High School, with a great rivalry built between the two neighbors. For many years the campus operated under block scheduling, seen as an innovative way to allow for longer periods of uninterrupted teaching time. This also gave students more downtime and freedom to decide what to do with it; with this freedom came responsibility to make good choices during non-class times. After many years of block scheduling The Park resorted back to a traditional schedule with 6 classes per day and 2 semesters of classes per year. Currently, The Park is considered a "Closed Campus," meaning no student may leave during the school day without a pass from the office to exit. The PCEP security squad makes sure this, as well as other policies are enforced strongly and will go to great lengths to apprehend a student they suspect of breaking a rule.


PCEP's radio station, ] 88.1FM ''The Park'', has won awards, including the Michigan Association of Broadcaster's annual 'Station of the Year' prize, which it has won nearly every year in the past decade.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.michmab.com/MABF/hscolawards.html |title=2007 Station of the Year Awards - see other links for previous years |access-date=2007-09-01 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070929141451/http://www.michmab.com/MABF/hscolawards.html |archive-date=2007-09-29 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The station was started in 1972 at 89.3FM.
Prior to the summer of 2006, the Cady family barn was also a part of the campus. It has since been moved to the Canton Township Cherry Hill village area next to a historic home. Included on the campus grounds is also a small strip of forest that backs a nearby neighborhood. Various trails are scattered throughout the wooded area. An ] can also be found in the wooded area, and is visited by earth science and ecology classes yearly. A creek that is part of the ] watershed runs through the campus, separating Salem and Phase III (originally named Canton North) which are north of the creek from Canton and Plymouth (south of the creek). Environmental science classes held at the park regularly take water samples to monitor water quality from this creek. It has been a long-standing tradition for upperclassmen to threaten Freshmen with "Freshmen Fridays," where they attempt to throw Freshmen in the creek.


P-CEP also has a digital student-run newspaper, . Since 2022, it has operated as both an extracurricular club as well as a class. Articles published by The Perspective have received awards, both from 'Best of Sno' and the MIPA School of Journalism at Michigan State University.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://bestofsno.com/56609/news/racist-slur-filled-video-leads-to-p-cep-student-walkout/ |title=Racist slur-filled video leads to P-CEP student walkout }}</ref>
==Students and faculty==
The Park currently has about 6,200 students with a racial makeup of 81% ], 10% ], 4% , 2% ], and less than 1% ] (figures are rounded and do not add to 100%). The faculty has 280 members.


The Park also has a Debate Club, a Quiz Bowl Team, a Model United Nations Club, a three Mock Trial teams, a '']'' Robotics Team, a ] chapter, Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) chapter, and an Investment Club, among other clubs geared towards educational incentives.
==Extracurricular activities==
The Park has over 50 ] and ], including a ]. All three Science Olympiad teams qualified for the state level competition in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2010. Also, Plymouth's 2007 Novice and 2009 Varsity Quiz Bowl teams won the championship in the tri-county area.


==Performing arts==
There are also many clubs dedicated to different languages and cultures, such as the Spanish and Latino Students' Association (SALSA), Asian Pacific American Club (APAC), Indian-American Student Association (IASA), Muslim Student Association (MSA), Arab Student Association, Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA), and the Diversity Council.

===Performing arts===
The theatrical side of the performing arts program at the park consists of two groups: , based at Salem High School, and , based at Canton High School. Any student who attends PCEP can audition for shows produced by either group.

The performing arts program began with the formation of what is now the Park Players in 1970 by Gloria Logan, a drama teacher at Salem. The first three productions were staged at Central Middle School. The first production staged in Salem Auditorium was '']'' in 1971; as a tradition, a revival of ''Fiddler'' has been staged on the 10th and 20th anniversary years of the auditorium (1981 and 1991), while the most recent revival was staged in 2000, the 30th anniversary of the Park Players.

Both groups stage two fully produced, faculty-directed shows each school year. Each semester, there is usually one play and one musical.

===Orchestra=== ===Orchestra===


There are two ] classes. The lower orchestra is called Concert Orchestra, while the upper one is called Symphony Orchestra. Placement into either of these is determined by audition. Symphony Orchestra typically plays AA-rated musical pieces, often playing pieces with members of the Wind Ensemble. They have been ranked as one of the best performing high school symphony orchestras in the state, consistently earning a Division I rating at District Orchestra Festival. Both high school orchestras often perform for community events, and volunteers from orchestra classes and Wind Ensemble play in the ] for the musicals. There is also a middle school orchestra program which meets in the high school during first hour in the high school schedule. All orchestra classes are directed by Catherine DePentu. In April the orchestras performed together at the Duxbury Performing Arts Center in Massachusetts winning second place at the festivals of music. There are two ] classes.

The Madrigals perform extremely challenging selections, and have earned highest honors at state and national competitions<ref>

Although Chambers and Madrigals have separate classes, the two choirs rehearse together after school every week, and practice pieces that they do together. This combined choir is called the Festival Singers and is nicknamed by its members "Chambrigals". The Festival Singers travel around throughout the school year and perform for various competitions and community events.

The Plymouth-Canton Educational Park (commonly PCEP or "The Park") encompasses three public secondary schools—Salem High School, Canton High School, and Plymouth High School—in Canton Township, Michigan, United States within Metro Detroit. PCEP is located on a 305-acre (123 ha) campus.

PCEP is part of the Plymouth-Canton Community Schools District, serving portions of Wayne County and Washtenaw County, including City of Plymouth, Plymouth Township, and parts of Canton Township, Salem Township, Superior Township, and Northville Township.

History

The original Plymouth High School (and later Salem High School)

The original Plymouth High School was built in the early 20th century on the northwest corner of Main Street and Church Street, opposite from present-day City Hall in present-day downtown Plymouth, Michigan. The district deemed the facility to be outdated by the 1960s for high school use. The facility was closed as a high school after the 1969–70 school year and used exclusively for 9th grade in 1970–71 and 1971–72.

When the first new high school opened in the present-day Plymouth-Canton Educational Park, the original Plymouth High School was converted into a middle school, dubbed Central Middle School (in conjunction with the previously constructed East and West Middle Schools). Central Middle School closed after the 2014–15 school year.

Originally planned to remain Plymouth High School, the school's name was changed to Plymouth-Salem High School after Plymouth-Canton opened. Although the school district serves much of rural Salem Township, Salem residents were not necessarily exclusive to Plymouth-Salem.

Plymouth High's colors of red, white, and blue, were split up, with Plymouth-Salem retaining blue and white, and the eventual Canton High School teams taking the red with white. Plymouth-Salem retained their "Rocks" mascot; supposedly named for the large unmovable boulder that sits outside the school. The rock was moved during the renovations in 2008.

Salem is divided into two main sections, North and South. The north side contains the swimming pool and the Gloria Logan Auditorium, and a two-level gymnasium on the south side, divided by a wide central hallway leading to the east entrance of the school. A staircase leads to the second-floor corridor near the entrance to the auditorium. The west side contains three floors of classrooms, as well as the cafeteria on the southeast side of the first floor. Administrative offices are located on the northeast side of the first two floors. The center of the second floor is dominated by the school library, and also features the studio for radio station WSDP. Stairwells on the north and south sides, referred to as the North Tower and South Tower, respectively, provide access to all three floors, and an elevator provides access for students unable to use the stairs.

In the early 1990s the North Mall was revamped, while the South Mall was eliminated in favor of an expanded cafeteria. The school underwent renovations from 2006 to 2008, and went through renovations for more office space in 2011.

In 2002, with the opening of the new Plymouth High School as part of the PCEP, "Plymouth" was dropped from Salem and Canton's name. Individually the high schools are known as Salem High School, Canton High School and Plymouth High School.

Plymouth High School

Opened in August 2002 and constructed southwest of Salem High School, the new Plymouth High School was designed by the architecture firm French Associates. The students selected to be Plymouth High's first senior class, the Class of 2006, were polled during their 6th grade year to come up with the school's colors and mascot. Their selection, the Predators (after the Nashville Predators of the National Hockey League), was met with opposition from some parents who associated it with sexual predators. As a result, the school decided to use the generic "Wildcats" nickname, while still using the saber-toothed tiger logo of the Nashville Predators. Plymouth's school colors were to be purple and white (a combination of the red and blue of Salem and Canton), but they were changed to black and silver.

Campus

Canton High School

The campus covers 305 acres, much of which encompasses athletic fields. Students can have classes in all three academic buildings. One advantage to the 3-in-1 idea is reduced cost: there is only one auto shop (at Canton), one culinary arts facility (at Salem), two darkrooms for photography (one at Salem, one at Canton), one varsity football field (at Canton), two swimming pools (at Salem & Canton), two soccer and football fields (at Canton and Plymouth), one Robotics Shop (at Canton), one choir complex (at Salem) one orchestra complex (at Canton), and one band complex (at Plymouth).

For most of its history, the campus has contained Canton High School and Salem High School, with a great rivalry built between the two neighbors. For many years the campus operated under block scheduling, seen as an innovative way to allow for longer periods of uninterrupted teaching time. After many years, The Park resorted back to a traditional schedule with 6 classes per day and 2 semesters of classes per year.

Prior to the summer of 2006, the Cady family barn was also a part of the campus. It has since been moved to the Canton Township Cherry Hill village area next to a historic home. The Cady family barn burned down at this new location on May 30, 2021. Included on the campus grounds is also a small strip of forest that backs a nearby neighborhood. Various trails are scattered throughout the wooded area. An Artesian well can be found in the wooded area, and is visited by earth science and ecology classes yearly. A creek that is part of the Rouge River watershed runs through the campus.

Extracurricular activities

There are clubs dedicated to different languages, cultures, and lifestyles, such as the African American Student Association, Hispanic Students' Association (HLSA), Asian Pacific American Club (APAC), Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA), Polish American Club, Indian-American Student Association (IASA), French Club, Muslim Student Association (MSA), Middle Eastern Student Association, Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA), Secular Student Alliance, and the Diversity Council. An annual Celebration of Diversity (COD) is held by some cultural clubs for support and recognition.

PCEP's radio station, WSDP 88.1FM The Park, has won awards, including the Michigan Association of Broadcaster's annual 'Station of the Year' prize, which it has won nearly every year in the past decade. The station was started in 1972 at 89.3FM.

P-CEP also has a digital student-run newspaper, The Perspective. Since 2022, it has operated as both an extracurricular club as well as a class. Articles published by The Perspective have received awards, both from 'Best of Sno' and the MIPA School of Journalism at Michigan State University.

The Park also has a Debate Club, a Quiz Bowl Team, a Model United Nations Club, a three Mock Trial teams, a FIRST Robotics Team, a Distributive Education Clubs of American chapter, Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) chapter, and an Investment Club, among other clubs geared towards educational incentives.

Performing arts

The theatrical side of the performing arts program at the park consists of two groups: The Park Players, based at Salem High School, and The Second Stage Players, based at Canton High School.

The performing arts program began with the formation of what is now the Park Players in 1970 by a drama teacher at Salem. The first three productions were staged at Central Middle School. The first production staged in Salem Auditorium was Fiddler on the Roof in 1971; as a tradition, a revival of Fiddler has been staged on the 10th and 20th anniversary years of the auditorium (1981 and 1991), while the most recent revival was staged in 2000, the 30th anniversary of the Parkstage two fully produced, faculty-directed In the 09-10 school year, Second Stage Players produced two mainstage productions, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee in the fall, and The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) in the spring.

The Park Players have staged over 85 productions, including Neil Simon's Proposals, Brighton Beach Memoirs, Footloose, Hello, Dolly!, Jekyll & Hyde, and Smokey Joe's Cafe. During the 2009–10 school year, the Park Players celebrated their 14th anniversary. They performed three stage productions: Noises Off as their fall play, Sweet Charity as their spring musical, and Check Please/Check Please: Take Two as an in-between production.

The Park also has a Spoken Word Club and a Puppetry Club.
