Noteworthy graduates honored by Paris ISD

          

Distinguished Graduate Awards Presentation:  September 16, 2016

The Distinguished Graduate Award is the highest and most prestigious award the Paris Independent School District can bestow on its graduates.  This award honors Paris High School and Gibbons High School graduates who are nationally or internationally recognized for their career accomplishments, distinguishing themselves as leaders and as role models.

Former Paris ISD students Dr. Larry “T-Byrd” Gordon (PHS Class of 1967/Posthumous), Thomas S. Moore (PHS Class of 1958), Lewis “Jackrabbit” Smith (Gibbons High School Class of 1941/Posthumous), and Dr. Charles Sterling (PHS Class of 1963) have been named Distinguished Graduate Award winners.  Their portraits will be displayed on the Wall of Honor at Paris High School.

They will be honored at a presentation on Friday, Sept. 16 at 1:30 p.m. in the Commons Area at Paris High School and presented to the PHS student body during the Homecoming pep rally at 2:30 p.m.

Former students, staff and friends of Paris ISD are encouraged to attend.  Community members who wish to attend the 1:30 p.m. presentation should call 903-737-7473 ext. 2328 by Sept. 14 to make reservations.

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.

Submit from App
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.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is not a crisis line. In cases of emergency, the site will direct students to call 911!
