🚌☀️ And just like that, summer is officially here!

There is nothing quite like the energy of the last day of school. Check out this sweet moment as the busses rolled away from the middle school, with our amazing Parkland staff waving goodbye and sending our students off in style!

To our incredible Parkland students: We wish you all a safe, fun, and absolutely wonderful summer break. You’ve worked so hard this year, and you deserve it!

To our dedicated Parkland staff: Thank you. We are immensely grateful for everything you do day in and day out to support, inspire, and care for our students. This year wouldn't have been the same without you.

Enjoy the sunshine, Parkland family! See you in the fall! - The Parkland Education Foundation ❤️🎉

Check out this grant in action! Students in Mr. Iobst's class at Orefield Middle School were able to work with snap circuits, which required problem solving and teamwork. The kit allowed lessons to be specialized for all students. The excitement was contagious when they got the circuits to work.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Day!

2026 Distinguished Alumni recipient Matthew Binder (Class of 1991), teacher and meteorologist, shared a powerful perspective during last week's Parkland Education Foundation Alumni induction event: everyone has a teacher to thank—and those who don’t just haven’t found the right one yet.

In a world where the internet and AI can provide answers in seconds, it’s our teachers who make the true difference. They build relationships, understand their students, and go beyond the curriculum to inspire, guide, and enhance lives in ways technology never can.

At Parkland, that impact is felt every day.

Thank you to our educators for seeing the potential in every student and making a lasting difference.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Day!

2026 Distinguished Alumni recipient Joseph Stephen (Class of 1994), Special Agent with NCIS, shared how deeply his Parkland teachers impacted his life during last week's Parkland Education Foundation alumni induction celebration. Their guidance, support, and dedication helped shape the path he followed.

Today, we celebrate all of our Parkland teachers who inspire, challenge, and make a lasting difference in the lives of our students every day. Your impact goes far beyond the classroom.
