A Community of Values

It's important to note that Plainfield's town slogan is "A Community of Values", and it's something the residents take seriously. Twelve values were identified by the town, and a Community Values Program was established to recognize one citizen each month that exemplifies that month's value. That tradition continues to this day.

Like the City itself, the Plainfield Community School Corporation is built on a series of community values.  Each month is assigned a value and the school district spends the entire month working with the students to instill that value.  The school system supports its students through four elementary schools, a middle school and a high school.  They are consistently ranked as “Four Star” schools by the Indiana Department of Education. Additionally, the school system has been nationally recognized for excellence.
