Paris Independent School District proudly hosted its 2nd Annual Jr. Law Enforcement Night on Friday, September 26, in conjunction with Law Enforcement Night at Wildcat Stadium.
Each campus officer was invited to select one student to serve as a Junior Officer for the evening. These students were recognized with special experiences, including a tour of police vehicles, a behind-the-scenes visit to the press box, and conversations with Paris ISD Chief of Police Larry Hogan. The evening also included a complimentary meal provided by the PHS Blue Blazes Band concession stand team.
Following the meal, Chief Hogan and Assistant Chief Pruitt escorted the Junior Officers to the field, where the group proudly led the Wildcats out of the tunnel to begin the game.
A highlight of the evening was the honorary coin toss, performed by Officer Thomas Brandenburg, Crockett campus officer. Officer Brandenburg is known for his dedication, leadership, and willingness to go above and beyond in service to students and staff. His example of professionalism and kindness makes him an invaluable member of the Paris ISD family.
This year’s Junior Officers included:
Bryce Sadau – T.G. Givens
Zoltan Whipple – Justiss Elementary
Adrian Lane & Easton Hancock – Aikin Elementary
Asya McCulloch – Crockett Intermediate
Krish Bacharanianda – Paris Junior High
Paris ISD extends its gratitude to all law enforcement officers for their service and commitment to student
safety, as well as to the PHS Blue Blazes Band concession stand for supporting this special tradition.
