🎉 BIG NEWS FOR WILDCAT NATION! 🎉
Paris High School student Mary Grace Gibbons has been selected as a recipient of the Texas State Board of Education Student Heroes Award!
Mary Grace is one of only 15 students across the state of Texas chosen for this prestigious honor, which recognizes students who demonstrate exceptional leadership, volunteerism, and service to others.
Mary Grace earned this recognition through her creation of Mr. Marvin's Market, a community refrigerator initiative that helps reduce food insecurity and food waste while supporting both students and the community. Her compassion, creativity, and dedication to helping others have made a lasting impact at Paris High School and beyond.
She will be recognized by the Texas State Board of Education in Austin on June 26.
Please join us in congratulating Mary Grace on this incredible achievement! We are so proud to have her representing Paris ISD and Wildcat Nation on the state level. 💙🐾
