Starting Paramount High was a bit nerve recking for me due to the fact this high school was known to have riots and several altercations. Being on the news for fights was not appealing and I was concerned for my safety at times. However after being there for 4 years I learned to cope with its flaws and I met some of the people that will continue to forever impact my life in a positive way. The diversity made me feel at home and I wouldnt have wished to grow anywhere else.

Something within the school I really enjoy are the activities we get. For example, during the holiday season we had spirit week, cookie decorating during lunch, and holiday grams we can buy and get delivered to the classroom we chose. I appreciate how our school does the most it can to bring students together and provide for them.

Paramount High School focuses on the study of each student, providing them with the best quality of education. My experience has been the best.
