Parish Hill returned to fully in-person learning on August 25.  Masks are required for all students and staff indoors.  Masks are not required outdoors.  High school Boys’ and Girls’ soccer and cross country began on August 26. We are continuing emphasis on Social Emotional Learning and reducing learning gaps by adding an interventionist, using grant monies. We are training staff on using the IXL online platform to monitor and assess student academic growth.

Parish Hill was very fortunate to have a very successful, full in-person graduation ceremony this year. Advanced Placement (AP) scores were the best with 80% scoring at a “4” or “5” level in AP Environmental Science, 75% and 50% at a “4” or “5” level in AP Statistics and AP Computer Science Principles, respectively. Student enrollment at Parish Hill has for school year 21-22 increased approximately 4%.  There has been a notable decrease in state school enrollment this year.  We welcomed the following new teachers who replaced retiring teachers: Ashley Stavens, Special Education; Kevin Hurley, Chorus; Korrie Ford, Counselor; Bethany Duval, School Nurse; and Marshall Hudon, Technology Support Coordinator.

The school also tackled several capital projects, replacing the boiler chimney, installing a new fire panel, removing the in-ground oil tank and replacing it with an above ground tank, and re-paving the student parking lot.

Lastly, and importantly, Parish Hill will host both a first and second dose vaccination clinic on September 14 from 3 to 7PM in the gymnasium.
