PHS graduate promotes skin cancer awareness through essay contest


Posted Date: 04/30/2019

Ansley Downs and Alyssa Tacuyan, Paris High School seniors, were recently named the winners of the Operation Save Your Skin scholarship essay contest.

Shikha Prakash, a 2016 graduate of PHS, said, “I created this scholarship for Paris High School seniors in order to spread skin cancer awareness and the im-portance of sun safety—especially amongst the high school students. I founded Operation Save Your Skin as a freshman in high school, and I am happy to be able to give back to Paris High.”

Downs will attend Texas A&M Uni-versity and Tacuyan will attend the Univer-sity of Texas in the fall.

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.
