Over the summer Plymouth High School invested in new security. PHS installed\u00a0 new cameras in the school. There are also new security monitors; one is Misty Andrizejewski.<\/p>\n

Officer Ted Brown is also visible at the high school.\u00a0 Some students in PHS feel safe and some do not. Junior Maeson Coffin said he feels like \u201che is in prison cause anything can happen at anytime with or without cameras.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFreshman Kiegan Willis said yes he \u00a0does feel safe in the school with more cameras in our school. Freshman \u00a0Alondra Sanchez agrees with Willis. She said, \u201cYes because now we just feel safer in school and we are sure that there won’t be any random guy here.<\/p>\n

\"As<\/a>

As a person enters into the school, he\/she is required to push the button, and identify himself\/herself.\u00a0 If it is a student not recognized, Mrs. Schuler welcomes them and asks who they are.\u00a0 If it is an adult, she welcomes him\/her and asks who they need to see and what they are here for. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 Photo by: Brittine Martin<\/p><\/div>\n

Since PHS has new security there are a number of students who feel safe. \u201c Sanchez said, \u201cYou just have to be yourself and if you do bad things that’s why they get everything on camera and get your attention so they can correct your errors.\u201d Freshman Rose Miller\u00a0 said, \u201cI do not. I’m not really bothered by them unless I can see them and then they just make me feel paranoid. I think that they will definitely help control student behavior.\u201d Freshman Jewel Brown said, \u201cNo. I’ve never felt safe in school. I think that kids will hurt other kids and absolutely nothing stops them. Nobody looks like a homicidal person so I have trouble not being anxious around new people.\u201d As the result of having new security in the school, some\u00a0 of the students feel safe.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Freshman \u00a0William Johnston said, “Depends on how you define safe… Cameras aren’t necessarily going to help against someone who has brought weapons or drugs into the school, because if one wants to hide weapons\/drugs, they will get past the cameras.\u201d \u00a0Sophomore Breanna Gilmore \u00a0quoted, \u201cYes because if there is someone that comes in the school with a gun or something I know that the teachers will keep all of the students safe and get rid of the guy that has the weapon.\u201d \u00a0There are different feelings about PHS new security.<\/p>\n
