Parkway Alumni Association

Say cheese! 📸

These photos highlight just a few of the awards made possible through the Cerutti Foundation Teacher Scholarships — a meaningful way to support, celebrate, and encourage some of our most valued educators.

We are grateful for partnerships that invest directly in teachers and help provide opportunities for continued growth, innovation, and excellence in the classroom. 🍎✨

“Every day, educators have the chance to spark a curiosity, a belief, a sense of possibility. And the truth is, we don’t always get to see where that spark leads or how far it travels.” - Dr. Courtney Yeager, Director of SPARK! Teaching and Learning

However, during this spring’s Future Educator Signing Night, we witnessed that impact come full circle for 37 seniors who committed to pursuing teaching careers after graduation.
Today’s students are becoming tomorrow's teachers, and they stood proudly alongside the educators who inspired them the most, some dating back to their kindergarten years.

🎓 Welcome to our newest alumni — the Class of 2026!

Wherever your next chapter takes you, you’ll always be part of the Parkway community. We can’t wait to see the impact you make in the years ahead. Congratulations, graduates!

This week’s Saturday Throwback highlighted Parkway Central earning the prestigious Grammy Gold Signature Award — a national recognition celebrating excellence in music education and performance opportunities for students.

What an incredible reminder of the talent, dedication, and impact of Parkway educators and students through the years. 💙🎼

What a transformation!

Parkway School District recently completed the modernization of key areas at Parkway Central High School, including the swimming pool facility and varsity locker rooms. In partnership with Bond Architects, Inc. and Poettker Construction Company, these upgraded spaces were designed to enhance the student-athlete experience with improved functionality, durability, and a refreshed environment built to support success for years to come.

A great investment in Parkway students, programs, and the future athletics! 🏆

Remember the feeling???

Embracing one of her final moments on her home field, senior Julia Kiffer leaps through the senior night banner before kickoff. After spending four years in the Parkway West girls' soccer program, Kiffer reflected on the relationships and lessons she gained throughout her high school career. “It means a lot to be a part of the program, because I met so many great people and learned how to be a good teammate, friend and person,” Kiffer said.
