ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT! Congratulations to 2013 PHS graduate, Adam Licavoli, and his team who put Plainwell math and science on the moon on Sunday! Adam was part of the Firefly's Blue Ghost Mission Lunar landing team, which is part of the NASAs commercial lunar delivery program. His role over the last four years was in Guidance, Navigation and Control Engineering where he worked on the math and software that went into the autopilot on the 100% autonomous landing. This mission was the first commercial company in history to fully and successfully land on the moon. During landing day, he sat in mission control where he gave a "GO" for the GNC console. According to Adam, "I'm grateful for the education I received at Plainwell. I'm writing to share where it has taken me." Today's Learners are truly Tomorrow's Leaders - congratulations to Adam and the Firefly's Blue Ghost Mission Lunar landing team on completing this successful mission - PLAINWELL PRIDE!

Recently, Trooper Conner Mabie from the Michigan State Police visited Mrs. Koenig's first aid classes at Plainwell High School. Under guidance from Trooper Mabie and other MSP Troopers/Cadets, students engaged in various scenarios to practice their first aid skills. Later in the day, Trooper Mabie shared insights on traffic stops, emphasizing how students should conduct themselves if they are pulled over while driving. Subsequently, students took turns acting as the officer, driver and passengers during a simulated traffic stop. It was a fantastic learning opportunity for the Trojans!
Round 1 = ✔️! Congratulations to the Varsity Girls Basketball team on their 45-27 win over Allegan tonight in the first round of Districts. Alyssa Weldon led the team with 13 points and Anna Overway had 11!
