History

Plymouth North High School was constructed in 1963. The school was originally known as Plymouth-Carver High School, and it served as the sole high school for the Plymouth-Carver school district. The school replaced Plymouth High School, which was located in the building that currently houses the Nathaniel Morton Elementary School in Plymouth Center, across the street from Plymouth Town Hall. In 1988, the Plymouth-Carver school district was dissolved into the separate Carver and Plymouth school districts. In the same year, Carver High School and Plymouth South High School opened, and "Plymouth-Carver High School" was renamed "Plymouth North High School".
