Parkland is an accredited high school belonging to the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. To remain accredited a school must be evaluated every ten years. This evaluation committee consisted of a selected group of educators who came to Parkland to wander through the halls, to sit in on various classes, to select students at random for questioning, and to generally learn about the school. This committee submitted a report to the Middle States Association, which in turn sent commendations and suggestions to the administration. Mr. H. Edmond Smith. Associate Superintendent of Schools.
