About Us

Principal's Welcome

Welcome to a new school year at Plymouth Middle School! I am incredibly excited and honored to serve as your principal and to begin this journey alongside our students, families, staff, and community.

There is something special about the start of a new school year. It brings new opportunities, new relationships, new challenges, and new possibilities. As I walk through our building and see our staff preparing classrooms, organizing spaces, collaborating with one another, and getting ready to welcome students, I can already feel the energy building. Plymouth is ready!

My commitment is simple: students come first. Every decision we make should help our young people feel safe, supported, challenged, valued, and excited about coming to school. Middle school is an important time in a young person’s life. Our students are discovering who they are, developing their voices, building friendships, making mistakes, celebrating successes, and beginning to imagine who they want to become. Our job is to help them along that journey.

But we cannot do this work alone.

Families, we need you. You are an essential part of our school community. We want you to feel welcomed, informed, heard, and connected to Plymouth. Ask questions. Attend events. Celebrate your child’s successes. Reach out when something doesn’t seem right. Most importantly, partner with us as we work together to help every student succeed.

To our staff: Thank you for the tremendous work already happening behind the scenes. I am excited about what we are going to build together. Our students deserve adults who believe in them, challenge them, encourage them, and refuse to give up on them—and I know that is the kind of team we are building at Plymouth.

And to our students: This is your school. Your ideas matter. Your voice matters. Your dreams matter. We want you to walk through our doors knowing that you belong here and that there are adults in this building who are committed to helping you become the very best version of yourself.

As your principal, you will quickly learn that I believe deeply in relationships, high expectations, joy, hard work, and community. I also believe that great schools aren’t built by one person—they are built when students, staff, families, and community members all pull in the same direction.

That is why, as we begin this new chapter, our message will be clear:

One School. One Community. One Plymouth.

There is a lot to be excited about, and I cannot wait to welcome our students and families through the doors. I look forward to meeting you, learning from you, celebrating with you, and building something special together.

Let’s make this an incredible year at Plymouth Middle School!

With excitement and appreciation,

Zoraba Ross, M.Ed.
