I hope you are in the midst of enjoying your summer! We are busy preparing for the upcoming 2017-18 school year and are excited to welcome students back in a few weeks.
I am launching a new communication resource for you this upcoming school year. The format is simple and includes things like upcoming events, meet the staff, and other tidbits. I plan to give this format a try, so please let me know in a couple of months what you think.

Hi, my name is Cheri Steckel and I am the principal of Plymouth High School. I am entering my 7th year as principal and 9th year at Plymouth, having served as an AP for my first two years. Before becoming an administrator, I had the pleasure of teaching science at Marian High School and then at Canton High School. Not only have I been a teacher and administrator in this district, but I've also been a student! I attended Field and Gallimore Elementary schools, West Middle School, and I'm a proud graduate of Canton High School. Clearly, I love P-CCS!
My husband, Mike, and I have five daughters: Isabella (15); Abigail (13): Emma (11); Chloe (11); and Haley (6). There is never a dull moment in our house - seriously, not ever! Our girls keep us on our toes and busy running from one gymnastic meet to another. I thought we could not be busier when we had four children under the age of 4 1/2. People, even strangers, would tell us "if you think you're busy now, just wait until they get older." Yup, I get it now, they were right. Even so, I wouldn't change a thing - my heart is definitely happiest when I am with my family.
My personal goals this year are to live a healthy lifestyle that includes physical activity and to be present in the moment. It's easy to miss out on precious moments when I am checking email, listening to voicemail, or responding to texts on my phone. So, I really want to make sure that I "unplug" a bit each day. My professional goal is to support staff as they integrate effective instructional strategies that engage all students in learning. This is a priority improvement from the AdvancED External Review Team and also a strategy in our school improvement plan.
Did you know that clubs/activities are a great way for students to connect to their school community? Joining a club or activity at the start of the school year is a perfect way for students to meet friends who are interested in some of the same things. Our P-CEP Congresses are sponsoring a "Fall Activity Extravaganza" during lunch in the bus loop on Tuesday, September 12th, for students to check out many of the clubs/activities on campus. In the meantime, you can find the list of all clubs and activities HERE.
Did you know that construction crews have been working diligently on the water main that leads to Plymouth High School. This should be completed within the next few weeks, but please take extra caution in the meantime.
