Paris High School

Students must park in the main lot between the school and the stadium.  Lots marked "Staff Parking" are reserved for faculty.  Students are required to buy a $5 parking tag each school year to hang on the rear-view mirror of their vehicle.  You can purchase a tag from our security Officer Pruitt in the assistant principals' office.  Proof of insurance, a driver's license, and vehicle tag number are required.  You will be given a two-week grace period to purchase your tag.  Otherwise, designated student drop-off areas are in the driveway in front of the school or the lane in the main parking lot by the gymnasium entrance.  The covered circular drive behind the school is for bus traffic only.

Students who wish to eat breakfast should find a seat in the cafeteria.  Otherwise, you will be directed to the main gym.  You may not move from one location to another before the 7:55 AM bell to first period. If students chose to go to tutorialsin the morning, they may, but will have to stay in that one classroom untill the 7:55 AM bell. Students will not be allowed down the hall to tutorials after 7:40 AM.

Students are assigned to one of three lunch periods (A, B, C).  The lunch you are assigned depends upon your fourth-period classroom.  There will be a small notice posted on the door to fourth-period classes which tell you the lunch assignment.  If you have "A" lunch, go directly to the cafeteria; otherwise, your fourth-period teacher will tell you when it's time for lunch.

Yes.  Paris High has a student dress code which can be found in the Student Handbook posted on this website.  Principal Chris Vaughn will cover items in the Student Handbook during a grade-level orientation the first week of classes, but you are expected to dress properly.

All students will be issued a new class schedule by their first-period teachers on the first day of school.  Students will find their names posted in the hallways on a complete list of first-period class assignments.  The schedule your first-period teacher issues will be your permanent class schedule which you should follow.

A short answer to this question NO. Cell phones are not allowed on the student during school hours – 7:15 to 4:15. Cell phones must be in the student’s backpack or a locker.

The STUDENT HANDBOOK states the following below for more information regarding cell phones.

Possession and Use of Personal Communications Devices, Including Cell Phones, and Other Electronic Devices In accordance with state law HB 1481, the district prohibits the use of a personal communication device such as cell phones, earbuds/headphones, smartwatches, gaming devices, tablets, personal computers, fitness trackers, and any other device capable of digital communication while on school property during the school day. For more information about permitted use in certain circumstances that apply to this prohibition, see the Student Code of Conduct and policy FNCE(LOCAL). The use of cell phones or any device capable of capturing images is strictly prohibited in locker rooms or restroom areas while at school or at a school-related or school-sponsored event. A student with a personal communications device out or on their person during the school day will result in the device being confiscated. The device must then be picked up by a person on their contact list and the student will receive an assignment of: 

 1st offense – 2 days ISS

 2 nd offense – 4 days ISS

 3 rd offense – 8 days ISS resulting in DAEP placement

Classes may not be dropped after the beginning of any semester without teacher recommendation. A student must apply for counselor permission to add or drop a class. Another class must be added to replace the one dropped. A schedule will not be changed for the purpose of having a class or lunch with friends or due to a conflict with a teacher.

It's your choice.  You may request to have a locker by visiting the front office. If you would like to have a locker issued to house your cell phone, please visit the front office. 

Paris High is a closed campus.  You are expected to eat lunch only in the cafeteria.  You may bring a lunch with you.  No one will be allowed to leave the campus without permission from a principal or assistant principal.
