Students heard stories about the days when schools were one-roomed, grades 1-12 all in the same class, and they had only chalk boards if they were lucky enough to receive even that. Today, we have preschools, elementary schools, intermediate schools, middle schools, and high schools. Recently, Plymouth High School has a new addition, The School of Inquiry, also called New Tech. New Tech is  project-based learning for group working.
