Paramount USD Celebrates Legacy in Motion: 100 Years of Black History Month

Paramount Unified School District proudly hosted Legacy in Motion: Celebrating 100 Years of Black History Month. The celebration featured vibrant performances, community booths, local vendors, crafts, and meaningful moments of recognition. One of the evening highlights was the presentation of our Change Maker Awards, honoring students who exemplify leadership, service, resilience, and a commitment to uplifting others. 

We extend our sincere gratitude to the Paramount community partners who helped make the evening so special. Most importantly, thank you to the many families who joined us. 

The future of Paramount USD is bright — and it is being shaped today.
