Paris High School - Arena Yearbook (Paris, IL)

“I am proud to be a part of the Paris school system!” Together We Can! the theme adopted for the 1984-85 Arena was created by Larry Leonard, the superintendent of District 95. Mr. Leonard moved to Paris this year because he liked the size of Paris and its school district. His wife is a special education teacher and is presently employed by the Human Resource Center. Mr. Leonard feels that school is an organiztion of people and that those people must be respected. Also, Mr. Leonard wants the students to feel at home in school and to learn to the maximum of their ability. Increased academic achievement is one goal that Mr. Leonard would like to see accomplished. Spreading the feeling of togetherness also constitutes Mr. Leonard's personal philosophy because he repeatedly stated, I am proud to be a part of the Paris school system!

As students, we sometimes complain about the rules and regulations, like the new in-school-suspension and the new detention policy; however, without rules, Paris High School would be pretty chaotic. The Board of Education, Mr. Leonard, Mr. Watts, Mr. Gordon, and Mr. Walter really do have our best interests at heart. They support our activities and achievements. We see them not just during the school day, but at ballgames, banquets, and concerts. The administrators are all part of the team that makes Paris Hiqh School work. Faculty Administration 7
