Plymouth Community
Intermediate School is located at 117 Long Pond Road in Plymouth,
Massachusetts. We opened in 1973 as the Plymouth-Carver Intermediate
School servicing the students from both Plymouth and Carver. In
1987, we became known as Plymouth Community Intermediate School.
We are a middle school with over 1,200 students in grades 5 - 8 with over
150 staff and support personnel. Our school mascot is the "Falcon"
and our school motto is "PCIS … Soaring Strongly and Proudly
Into the Future." The school is divided into four
houses: Apollo, Gemini, Mercury and Ranger -- named after the 1970's space
program.
We are very proud of our
enrichment program at PCIS. We have full-time Instrumental Directors
for our grades 5 & 6 bands and grades 7 & 8 bands. We offer our
grade 5 vocalists the opportunity of participating in a musical
presentation and our grades 6, 7 & 8 choristers may join the many
theatre productions during the year including Children's Theatre and a
wonderful middle-school musical production open to the entire student
body. Students not in band or chorus attend Art, Computer Art,
Health and Music in grades 5 & 6 and Art, Health and Technology
Education in grades 7 & 8. All students are offered Physical
Education and the opportunity to participate in our morning and afternoon
intramurals program. We've developed a fine interscholastic sports
program featuring soccer, cross-country, and field hockey in the Fall,
basketball and wrestling in Winter, and Spring sports such as softball,
baseball, and track & field. We also have many club activities
that meet on our late bus days.
We have a full- time
Director for our Planetarium as well as a nationally recognized weather
station that is part of the WBZ School Weathernet, a local
Boston TV Station. Our Little Theatre, a friendly, approximately
120-seat auditorium, accommodates school plays, team activities, and
community meetings and includes a fully-functional cable TV studio.
Our
students selected four words to describe us:
