Paris Renee Buckman, a graduate of Mount Hebron High School, passed away suddenly on July 14, 2021 at 17 years of age. Paris loved her family and friends, had a beautiful smile, and touched the lives of everyone she met.

She was a member of the Mount Hebron Lancer Drill Team, Delta Scholars, as well as part of the National Math Honor Society and National Spanish Honor Society.

An avid reader, Paris was a self-described Harry Potter junkie who proudly let everyone know she was part of Hufflepuff, one of the four Houses of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the book series. She was such a fan of the books, which she started reading in second grade, she read the 7-part series 10 times and often watched the movies with her family.

Paris had been accepted into numerous colleges such as American University, Syracuse University, Virginia Tech, University of Louisville, West Virginia University and University of Maryland, Baltimore County. She chose UMBC after being accepted into the Honors Program and planned to major in mathematics, computer science or information systems.

The Paris R. Buckman Memorial Scholarship will support graduating seniors with a passion for dance on the Lancers Drill Team at Mt. Hebron High School. This scholarship embodies Paris’ values, commitment to helping others, and love of dance.
