From the Principal's Desk...

Welcome, Paradise Knoll Panthers!

My name is Mrs. Jennifer Miller, and I am the proud principal of Paradise Knoll School. Paradise Knoll Elementary is a close-knit, caring neighborhood school devoted to nurturing the whole child. Our passionate and dedicated teachers provide students with a rich and engaging curriculum in a safe and supportive environment. Each child takes part in a comprehensive reading and writing program, where they are encouraged to explore their favorite genres and develop their own voices as writers across many styles and purposes.

In addition to literacy, our students are inspired to excel in mathematics, science, social studies, art, music, physical education, and media/technology literacy. Paradise Knoll also places a strong emphasis on social and emotional growth. Students can take part in clubs, activities, chorus, band, TREP$, and Learning Unlimited. Through our Character Matters program and Project Adventure experiences, students learn the importance of kindness, respect, responsibility, and making positive choices. Our fifth-grade Character Ambassadors proudly lead the way by modeling and teaching the character trait of the month to their peers.

We are also grateful for the continued support of our dedicated and generous PKPTA. Their efforts bring so many opportunities to life—after-school clubs, family events, classroom supplies, and teacher resources—all of which enrich the experience of our students. Together, as a strong school community, we work to ensure that every child can reach their fullest potential.
