What is the Parkland Education Foundation?
The Parkland School District Education Foundation is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization whose primary goal is to raise funds to promote, enhance, and supplement the educational and co-curricular programs for the benefit of students and staff in the Parkland School District. It is our goal to uphold what Parkland is best known for - delivering a rigorous curriculum that is complemented by rich offerings in the arts and athletics. To-date, the Foundation has given $635,000 back to the schools in our District.

2nd Annual Alumni Turkey Trot
Join us for the 2nd Annual Parkland Alumni Turkey Trot! Trojan alumni, family and friends of the Parkland School District are invited to the PHS campus to participate in a 5K run/walk along the cross country course. Whether you are in the area for Thanksgiving or a Parkland resident, we hope our alumni will enjoy the chance to reconnect with Parkland, burn off some turkey stuffing, and reunite with classmates.
There will be prizes for the fastest male and female graduates, a Kid's Wild Turkey Sprint, and more! The event is open to all. For more information and to register visit the race website.
THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS!

Make a Splash at the PHS Pool!
After 16 years, the High School pool is in need of repairs. In 2017, the District will purchase a new liner for the pool to ensure it remains a safe facility and continue the swimming and diving program’s tradition of success. In an effort to help the District offset the costs of the pool liner, the Parkland School District Education Foundation will support the project by creating a Donor Wall within the aquatic center to recognize donors who make a gift in support of the District’s athletic program.
