Message from Mr. Lerch, Principal |
I would like to welcome everyone to the 2007-2008 school year at Paradise High School. This year we will continue to build on last year’s many accomplishments.
The staff will develop ongoing strategies that encourage students to engage in their education by providing opportunities to participate in a variety of activities, both academic and extra-curricular, while forming meaningful relationships. We will continue to foster self-discipline, self-motivation, and responsible behavior.
Last year, the students and staff created the RISE UP motto. RISE UP is the acronym for
Respect for all
Integrity first
Service above self
Excellence in all we do
Unity
Purpose
You will see this motto around the school in many forms, including t-shirts, wristbands, posters, and letters. This acronym encapsulates the learning environment we wish to provide at Paradise High School.
A major success last year was gaining a six-year accreditation for our academic programs from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. Involving numerous stakeholders, our self-study was a huge undertaking and we are proud of our accomplishment as a school community.
Finally, parents and students once again have access to grades and attendance via our student information system, Aeries. Many parents and all students have accounts enabling them to view student information on the Internet. This has been a great tool to facilitate communication between parents and teachers and to track student progress. I urge you to take advantage of it. .
We look forward creating an outstanding educational experience. We welcome and encourage your involvement with your student and our school. GO BOBCATS!
