PAA President's Corner

I welcome you to the Plymouth Alumni Association. I hope you will find the Alumni Association as exciting, informative and worthy of your time and resources as I have.  The Alumni Association is a wonderful place for reconnecting with old friends, making new ones, and learning of the new things happening with PHS alumni and the exceptionally talented students at Plymouth High School. 

In 2012, a new chapter will be launched in serving the PHS alumni.  The Alumni Association grows each day as more graduates take advantage of the information highway created by the web page and newsletter.  Many have contributed to the success of the association through time and resources in organizing new programs like “Rock on with the Rockies” and the “Alumni Pre/Post Game Radio Show” featuring live interviews with students, teachers, coaches and administrators at home athletic events. This is just a few of the new ways your association will work to reconnect with you, your classmates, and friends.  With the support and commitment of Supt. Dr. Dan Tyree; Jim Condon, Principal of Plymouth High School; Rusty Nixon, Director of Alumni Affairs; and the Alumni Board, I look forward to more exciting activities from your Alumni Association. 

With the enthusiasm demonstrated for the renewed purpose of the alumni association, my goal is to bring the resources together to build a network of information and programs which will benefit each graduate of Plymouth High School.  I envision an Alumni Association that serves as a social network, but also a place where graduates can gather and exchange information, identify employment opportunities and learn from other graduates on experiences in life since leaving Plymouth High School.

I envision an association that will establish a foundation for scholarships for students, teachers and alumni who recognize the cornerstones of success begin with an educational environment like the one found at Plymouth High School.  I see an association that will continue to recognize the accomplishments of outstanding and distinguished performance of PHS alumni in a new and expanded Hall of Fame.  A Hall of Fame that will tell a story of PHS graduates serving their communities.   Finally, I envision an association that will perpetuate the common bond we all share as graduates of Plymouth High School for future generations.

If you are a PHS graduate, regardless of where you are located, and want to become a part of the energy you will find in the Plymouth Alumni Association, join me today in moving forward to a new vision to preserve the past, celebrate today and advance into the future.  


I look forward to hearing from each of you on how your alumni association can better serve you.

DEAN A. COLVIN ('70)
