Homecoming is an exciting time of school spirit and fun for the Paris Wildcats. Please help celebrate Homecoming Spirit Week: "Wildcats in Wonderland."
Monday is “We’re All Mad Here” and students wear hats for Mad Hatter Hat Day. On “Tweedle Tuesday,” students dress like a twin or like Tweedledum and Tweedledee. Favorite Walt Disney characters will be the dress on “Walt Disney Wednesday.” Then Thursday, it’s “Do You Suppose She’s a Wildflower?” so dress in late 60’s to early 70’s Flower Power! Friday, students will show they are “Wildcats in Wonderland” 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 Dr. Larry “T-Byrd” Gordon/Posthumous (Class of 1967), Thomas S. Moore (Class of 1958), Lewis “Jackrabbit” Smith (Gibbons High School Class of 1941), and Dr. Charles Sterling (Class of 1963).
