Murfreesboro, TN— Paul Mitchell Schools proudly announce the opening of
their newest school, Paul Mitchell the School, located in Murfreesboro. The school owners and John Paul Mitchell Systems CEO John Paul DeJoria and Dean of Paul Mitchell Schools Winn Claybaugh, will be on hand along with Mayor Tommy Bragg and others to cut the red ribbon at the grand opening festivities on April 7, 2010 at 12 noon.

The 11,000-square-foot building was designed to train as many as 250 students at a time. Like all Paul Mitchell Schools, the Murfreesboro location will work and educate exclusively with Paul Mitchell products, and instructors and students will follow an aggressive, ongoing educational and cultural development program.

“I’m so excited to welcome PMTS - Murfreesboro to the Paul Mitchell family,” Winn Claybaugh said. “Like every school in our network, the owners and staff share our common mission of doing so much more than merely producing beauty school graduates. We’re out to change the industry by making better human beings.” Staff members at Paul Mitchell Schools believe that education is an adventure and the learning experience needs to be fun. Each school is a learning community that provides future professionals with the opportunities to develop essential skills while exploring their talents, passion, and creativity.

Paul Mitchell Schools are also committed to making a difference in the world. Through their annual three-month fundraising campaign, future professionals across the country have raised and donated more than $3.4 million to charitable organizations in the last six years. They’ve built two homes with Habitat for Humanity; fed thousands of African orphans; and supported the victims of AIDS, breast cancer, homelessness, hurricanes, abuse, and hundreds of other causes. They’ve also formed student-run “Go Green Teams” to find ways to reduce, reuse, and recycle in their schools. In addition, a portion of the cost of every student technical kit is donated to the American Forest Global ReLeaf Program to help replace America´s trees.
