Celebrating another outstanding Dual Credit student📣

Parker Moore is a dual credit senior at Pana High School who has been waitlisted to the United States Air Force Academy with the goal of becoming a fighter pilot. Parker’s dedication and qualifications have earned him not one, but two congressional delegate nominations—an achievement his Academy liaison has described as extremely rare. In pursuit of his goal of military service, Parker also applied for and received a United States Marine Corps NROTC scholarship and has been accepted to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.

Along with this, Parker was elected President of the Senate and selected as his party’s nominee for Governor at Illinois Premier Boys State—an exceptional testament to his leadership abilities and civic engagement. Additionally, Parker owns and operates his own business, EverBloom Flowers through our CEO program. Among both faculty and peers, he is widely respected for his trustworthiness, positive attitude, and natural leadership.

Congratulations on your achievements, Parker!
