PARK CENTER Park Center has had sixteen years of excellence. We’ve excelled in academics, fine arts, sports and vocational training. But above all, we’ve excelled in Pride. Park Center and Pride are synonymous. From the moment a student sets foot in Park Center as a sophomore to the moment he walks out a senior, he feels the bond that brings this school together. We are not a perfect school, but without Park Center we would have missed out on the opportunity to meet friends and the chance for a good education. Let’s work to the end that Park Center and the Pride that holds it together is here for at least another sixteen years. “I have sweet memories of homework after David Letterman Todd Wambach Park center Senior High school 4 Theme
