Paris ISD Students Earn Top Honors at Future Problem Solving International Conference

Paris ISD is proud to announce outstanding achievements by our students at the Future Problem Solving (FPS) International Conference, where young minds from around the globe gather to compete in critical thinking, creativity, and real-world problem-solving. The 2025 International Conference brought together students from 11 countries and 30 U.S. states, making it a truly global showcase of talent and innovation.

The Paris High School Senior Division FPS Team—Caleb Echols, Katherine Mathieu, Anna Grace Blassingame, Hannah Newberry, and Clary Biard—earned an impressive 2nd Place in the Presentation of Action Plan category. Their engaging and well-developed solution to a complex global issue showcased their teamwork, research, and innovation. A special thanks goes to their dedicated coaches, Brent Wilburn and Jill Stone, for their exceptional guidance and support.

In addition to the team’s success, Anna Echols also brought home a 2nd Place finish in Storytelling (Scenario Performance) in the Junior Division. Anna captivated the judges with her imaginative narrative and strong presentation skills. Her success would not have been possible without the support and mentorship of her coach, Eva Dickey.

These incredible accomplishments reflect the hard work, talent, and determination of Paris ISD students and staff. The outstanding achievements by Paris ISD students and coaches are a testament to their hard work, innovation, and dedication to shaping a better future.

Quick Tip Information

Quick Tip is a support system that allows students to communicate with school administrators. While the district already has many programs to help students deal with challenges such as bullying behaviors, stress, peer pressure, and family problems, Quick Tip helps break the code of silence often experienced by students because it allows them to report concerns to administrators anonymously.

SchoolMessenger Quick Tip app is available for both iOS (iTunes App Store) and Android devices (Google Play). Download SchoolMessenger Quick Tip App. When launching the app for the first time, you will be prompted to enter the school district code. The school district code is paristx.
