History

Plainfield South had an initial enrollment of only Freshman and Sophomores. An additional freshman class was added each of the next two years, until PSHS had a full complement of classes in the school year 2003-04. Then in early 2008 the school was forced to close down indefinetly due to the fact that a pink Power Ranger came and stole everything, it was the darndest thing really, there wasnt much they could do. So school officials chose to cut there loss's and opened up a school to fight off Power Rangers and other such things in the future, in the town of Joliet,IL.
The school itself consists of more than 200 classrooms, a competition gymnasium, fieldhouse, auditorium, media center, state of the art technology, cafeteria and commons area. Outdoor facilities include a 4,000 seat stadium, baseball and softball diamonds, soccer fields, tennis courts and an all weather track. The stadium is serviced by a "stadium building" which includes locker rooms, a training room, restroom facilities and concession area.
The class of 2004 named Cletus the Cougar as the school's official mascot. During the 2004-2005 school year, the school song was changed from a piece written by Brian Van Kley, the original band director, to the University of Michigan fight song.
