Principal's Message

Dear Panther families,

Welcome to the 2023-24 school year! Middle school is an important period in a student's life, a time of growth and discovery.  It is during your years here at Paramount Park Middle School the foundation for your future endeavors will begin.  As a school community we have the opportunity to guide, support, and inspire our students, providing them with the tools and skills they need to launch confidently into their future. 

The Paramount Park institution is a place of learning and is considered a safe and protected space. Our school should be respected by all those in the words we speak and the choices we make.  When a student, staff member, or guest walks through our campus gates, they are a representative of all the hard work and thought involved in creating a positive middle school experience each year.  

At Paramount Park, we believe that setting high standards for teaching, learning, and behavior is essential to unlocking the potential within each and every student. We will strive for excellence in all aspects of education, nurturing a positive school culture and environment where our students and staff are celebrated, and personal growth is valued.

Our teachers will not only serve as mentors and educators but also as trusted allies, creating a safe and inclusive space. We will promote positive connections between students, parents, and staff, fostering a sense of belonging and unity that extends beyond the classroom.

We will embrace challenges as opportunities for growth, learning from setbacks, and celebrating achievements along the way. If you are not already involved, we urge you to volunteer at school in a variety of ways: attend monthly PTA meetings, participate in the School Site Council and/or support our events.  In order to ensure our students, reach the maximum potential of their ability, schools and families must serve as partners. 

I am genuinely excited to embark on this journey with each of you. Let us work hand in hand, as we inspire, challenge, and empower our students to reach new heights. Together, we will make Paramount Park Middle School a place where dreams are nurtured, futures are shaped, and lifelong memories are created. I am looking forward to joining you on your middle school journey.                                                                                                                                                 

Hear us ROAR!

Mr. Pete Loaiza
