Plymouth South High School, also known as Plymouth South, or PSHS, is a public high school located in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Its students are residents of the town of Plymouth. Plymouth South is one of two high schools in Plymouth, the other being Plymouth North High School. Plymouth South is located near the Long Pond neighborhood of Plymouth, west of Route 3 and The Pinehills development, and also adjacent to nearby Myles Standish State Forest, which is the biggest publicly owned recreation area in the South Shore region of Massachusetts, and also one of the biggest in the state. The school has an enrollment of approximately 927 students in the traditional academic curriculum of the school, and also houses an additional 626 students in the Technical Program of the high school, bringing the total school enrollment to 1,553 in grades 9–12. The school colors are Black, Teal and White and the school mascot is the Panthers.
Plymouth South High School was opened in 1988, the same year the Plymouth-Carver School District was dissolved into the separate Carver and Plymouth school districts. Plymouth-Carver High School became Plymouth North High School after the district separation of Plymouth and Carver. Prior to its opening, Plymouth North High School (then known as Plymouth-Carver High School) had served as the sole high school for the towns of Plymouth and Carver. Plymouth South has been in continuous operation since its opening in 1988, and has held a slightly larger enrollment of students than Plymouth North. Plymouth South is asbestos free. Plymouth South also offers a Technical & Vocational program in the high school, which houses an additional enrollment of about 600 students at Plymouth South High School. The Voc-Tech program is open to all high school students in the town of Plymouth, including students in the Plymouth North district. (Plymouth North does not offer a technical program). In the fall of 2017, a new building for the high school built behind the existing school will open replacing the old Plymouth South which will be demolished in the Summer of 2017.
