The Plymouth Community School Corporation (PCSC) School Board has officially approved the naming of the main court at Plymouth High School in honor of former Coach Jack Edison. This decision recognizes Coach Edison’s significant contributions to the school’s athletic program and ensures that his legacy will be celebrated for years to come.
Coach Edison, whose leadership and dedication helped shape the success of Plymouth High School’s basketball program, will be forever honored with the name "Jack Edison Court" prominently displayed on the basketball court surface when the next gym remodel is completed. Additional signage will be placed at the gym’s entrance to honor those donors contributing to the fundraising efforts.
Plymouth High School and the Athletic Department will embark on a fundraising campaign over the next 10 months with a goal to raise $200,000 in support of the gym renovation to allow for this official naming to be placed on the court. Although the naming rights are not contingent upon meeting the full fundraising goal, any funds raised will significantly enhance the gym and contribute to the ongoing improvements to Plymouth High School’s athletic facilities.
This initiative is a fitting tribute to Coach Jack Edison’s decades of dedication and impact on the school’s athletic programs. The naming of the basketball court provides a permanent way for future generations to remember and honor his contributions to Plymouth High School. The PCSC School Board’s approval marks the beginning of the fundraising campaign to support these important upgrades, and the school community is invited to participate in this effort to further enhance the athletic experience at Plymouth High School.
