Dear Parents and Students,

Welcome to Parkview High School and the 2011-2012 school year. The start of a new school year is always an exciting time. There are new opportunities and challenges for everyone. As we begin the year, I would encourage you to seek out new opportunities and ways to become involved at Parkview. Studies show that students who are actively engaged and involved in extracurricular activities perform better academically and have a more positive school experience. We have over 100 clubs, organizations, and athletic teams that are available to our students. I encourage you to find a group  that interests you, get involved, and make a difference.

Parkview has a long history of academic success, and I am confident we will continue to build on that success this school year. Challenge yourself in the classroom by taking rigorous classes that demand your best. Be an active participant in class, and make academics your number one priority.  We are fortunate in that we have an experienced and dedicated teaching staff that will support you in your academic endeavors. Rely on your teachers for guidance and encouragement as you strive to reach your goals.  

Thank you for your continued support of our teachers and academic programs. Working together we will continue to build on the tradition, pride, and success that make Parkview “the best high school in the nation.”

Sincerely,

David T. Smith

Principal
