"I love Parkview, all of the memories that have been made over the years while sharing and celebrating the PHS pride and traditions. My favorite memories of Parkview are Friday night Football games, marching from the courtyard across Grant, making a grand entrance through the gate and around the track with the 'Sal' (George of the Jungle) Cadence!"

"I was a counselor at Jarrett Middle School for 25 years. Most of the students from Jarrett go on to attend Parkview so I had the privilege of watching the school grow and change over the years. Several of my classmates shared their work on the committee and I wanted to be a part of planning the 60th Anniversary. 

"While at Parkview I was a member of the Lassie Drum Corps. I have fond memories of school performances, bus trips, early morning practices (not so fond), and good friends I made along the way."
