Athletic Honor Society is Taking Applications

We are now taking applications for 2026-2027 Parkview Athletic Honor Society. This seniors-only club is exclusive to Parkview, as years ago, we realized it's important to recognize our many outstanding athletes who are also role models in the classroom. This honor society is tailored for athletes and provides service opportunities around their busy schedule. Upon completion of requirements, they can earn a cord on honors night. (There are grade requirements and a service project. They are also encouraged to tutor younger teammates as well!) Seniors must have a 3.5 GPA or above to apply

Let's Start the Year Safe - Dropoff and Pickup at Parkview Let's Start the Year Safe - Dropoff and Pickup at Parkview

Please note that students will not be able to enter the building until 6:30am each day. If a student is dropped off at school prior to 6:30am, they will be unable to enter the building until 6:30am when the doors are unlocked and opened.


For the safety of our students, staff and all visitors on campus, please follow our procedures when driving on campus.

  • Morning carpool is on both sides of campus. Afternoon carpool is only on the A building side of campus next to Camp Creek. Any parents picking up on the stadium side of campus will be asked to turn around.
  • Please do not pull into student or teacher lots for student drop off or pick up.
  • Students, please only park in your assigned spot, if you do not have a parking pass, please do not park on the Parkview campus.
  • Please follow the instructions of all parking attendants and staff as they direct you through campus. We all are working to make this time run as smooth as possible.
  • Please stop at all crosswalks and stop signs on campus. The county has installed speed bumps to help slow vehicles in danger areas.
  • Please do not make a left when you are leaving campus during drop off or pick up. This causes traffic to back up both at the school and on Cole Dr. and it creates dangerous situations for buses and other vehicles traveling on Cole Dr.
