Athletes of the WEEK!!
🏫 A QUICK NOTE TO OUR PAROWAN COMMUNITY 💙💛
We know this is a small town. We know many of you personally, and we truly appreciate the support our community gives Parowan High School. ❤️
That’s exactly why we want to give everyone a heads-up about a change you’ll notice when visiting our school.
Please come prepared with your photo ID. 🪪
For the safety of our students and staff, THERE WILL BE ABSOLUTELY NO ENTRY INTO THE SCHOOL WITHOUT A VALID PHOTO ID — NO EXCEPTIONS.
We understand this may feel a little different here in our small community, but we have to be consistent for everyone. In following the State of Utah's School Safety Amendments, we are committed to always improving our safety measures and doing everything we can to keep our school safe.
🪪 ONE MORE IMPORTANT HEADS-UP:
Everyone will be required to show a photo ID to enter any event held on campus during school hours.
This includes things such as:
• Assemblies
• Veterans Day events
• Thanksgiving Dinner
• Parowan’s Birthday celebration
• Other events held during the school day
We don't want anyone to arrive and be surprised or have to turn around, so please just come prepared with your ID.
We know this is an extra step, and we appreciate your patience, understanding, and cooperation as we work to keep our kids, our staff, and our school safe. 💙💛
Thank you, Parowan, for always supporting our students and our school! 🐏💙💛

Hi! I'm Amanda Renzello. I previously taught history at Parowan High School and most recently served as the Dean of Students and the Instructional Coach. I truly love being part of the Parowan community and feel fortunate to work alongside incredible students, teachers, and families — and now so many more.
As I step into my new role as Assistant Principal and Athletic Director, I'm especially passionate about extracurricular activities and the impact they have on our youth. I believe these programs teach invaluable life lessons and play a huge role in shaping our students' futures.
When I'm not at school, you'll usually find me spending time with my family and friends. I love cheering from the sidelines at my kids' sporting events, traveling to new places, and making memories wherever our adventures take us.
I love Parowan High and this Community!
Congratulations to Gideon O'Leary and Cade Hulet for representing Parowan High School at the FBLA National Leadership Conference in San Antonio, Texas!
