I felt extremely safe at Paragon. There were never any security problems. We had regular drills to prepare us for the worst situation but never were needed to be executed in a real situation. Each person was required to sign in with an electronic system when entering the building, this was also monitored by the office staff.

No matter what their issues were. I was really hoping that NHA would have built a high school but that didn't happen. Exc...
