Plymouth-Canton Community Schools and Orsa Credit Union have partnered together in a long-term agreement to create and sustain a new innovation hub at Canton High School that district leaders say will expand hands-on learning opportunities for students and open the space to the broader community.

Orsa credit union, formerly known as Community Financial, has teamed up with Plymouth-Canton Community Schools (P-CCS) to create a groundbreaking community-powered hub aimed at expanding opportunities and preparing students for the future.

Plymouth-Canton Community Schools has been awarded a $145,894.40 grant from the Native American Heritage Fund to support the rebranding of Canton High School’s new mascot, the Cobras.

CANTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. – On Monday, Plymouth Canton Community Schools Superintendent Monica L. Merritt announced in a letter to families that the district will be moving to a fully-remote learning environment. Effective Monday, Nov. 23, P-CCS will pivot to a fully-remote learning environment for all students in its early childhood, elementary, special education, and post-secondary programs, with a planned return to in-person learning for these programs on Monday, Dec. 7. Within our district, we currently have 193 students and 82 staff members in quarantine due to COVID-related reasons (positive, probable, or close contacts). The requirement to quarantine staff and students compromises our ability to provide a consistent, high-quality instructional program for our in-person students,” said Merritt. Gretchen Whitmer announced new COVID restrictions as cases continue surging and hospitals statewide are on track to reaching full capacity.
