“Parowan High School will empower students with an understanding of citizenship, service, accountability, and life-long learning.”

Parowan is a small rural town (population 2,800) located in the southwestern part of the state, 230 miles south of Salt Lake City and 80 miles north of the Nevada border.  There is one elementary school (PES, grades K-6) and one high school (PHS, grades 7-12). Parowan High School is the smallest school in the Iron County School District.

Parowan High School is a center for the celebration of local history and cultural expression.  We celebrate our rich heritage throughout the year in school and community led activities.  We work closely with the community to offer an outstanding curriculum to our students.

As Southern Utah’s oldest community, settled January 13, 1851, Parowan still enjoys the tradition of friendly hometown hospitality.
