Meet the new PHS activities director & head coaches!

Kevin Butters

Plymouth High School activities director
PHS graduate!
Previous coaching experience: 14 years of football, 13 years of track & field, 1 year of softball
Other relevant experience: Throughout my teaching career I have tried to get involved wherever I can. Outside of my coaching at Plymouth, I have spent a lot of time working with the Boys Basketball program – driving the bus and doing the books. I also like attending any event, concert, or performance I can.
Why are athletics & activities important? Being involved in athletics and activities allows students to connect with others, develop as individuals and grow into well-rounded people. By creating a positive culture, these experiences help students understand that they’re part of something greater than themselves. Whether it's sports, clubs, or the arts, every activity leaves a positive impact on the students and the community around them.
Anything else you'd like people to know: I am extremely excited for this opportunity. Extracurriculars are my passion, and I can’t wait to be part of all the amazing things happening at PHS. Go Panthers!

Kevin Butters, PHS activities director
