Homecoming is an exciting time of school spirit and fun for the Paris Wildcats. Please help celebrate Homecoming Spirit Week: "On the Prowl—Wildcat Safari!"
Monday is “MACAWesome” and students show their true colors and wear colorful clothing. On Tuesday, students dress like a “Tacky Tourist.” Animal prints will be the dress on “Wild Animal Wednesday.” Then Thursday, it’s “Paris Prowl” so wear camo and track down the Panthers! Friday, students will show their “Wildcat Fever” and dress in spirit shirts.
The Distinguished Graduate Awards will be presented in the PHS Commons Area at 1:30 p.m. on Friday followed by a viewing of the Wall of Honor. Awardees include Captain J.K. (Jack) Ashmore (Class of 1947), and Sharon Samuels Reed (Class of 1968).
The 2017 Homecoming Queen and King nominees will be introduced during the pep rally which begins Friday at 3 p.m. in the PHS gymnasium. Queen nominees are Jessica Martinez, Katy Hall, Chyna Bell, Lilly Lewis, and Emily Williams. King nominees are Zaccheus Ellis, Gabe Allen, Darquize Bailey, Ashton Savage and Javian Dabbs.
