Paris High had great teachers and academics, but the facilities need updating, and there should be more vocational programs.

I moved to Paris for my Freshman year, two years after COVID-19 and it was the best experience any new kid could live. The teachers here are amazing and make you feel safe, the food is unmatched in taste. The thing I love most of all is the students at Paris High, everyone is unique and so many different ethnicity's.
