Our Story

In the spring of 2017, the Paramount Unified School District launched an ambitious undertaking: to reimagine 
high school. The High School Promise Initiative sparked a district-wide renewed commitment to more equitably prepare students for the demands and opportunities of college, career, and life in the 21st century. In concert with the district’s ambitious Strategic Plan, the High School Promise Initiative has been the catalyst for creating new opportunities for raising student achievement to new heights, including the launch of a new small high school focusing on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) – Odyssey STEM Academy.
