About Paul Revere Middle School
Timeline, Accolades, and Program Highlights
WELCOME
Our school first opened its doors on September 12, 1955, as Palisades-Brentwood Junior High School.
During our first year we chose Paul Revere as our permanent name, established our student government, formed our service and honor organizations, and began many of the traditions which are now an accepted part of our school life.
Beginning in September 1993, Paul Revere became a site of a new school program in addition to our fine regular school program. At that time, we gained a magnet school and our school name was changed to Paul Revere Middle School, Mathematics, Science and Technology Magnet Center. In 1994, Paul Revere became a Charter/LEARN School.
