Park East High School

Our motto is “Purpose, Preparation, Pride.” Our mission is to educate all students to be critical thinkers who research, solve problems, express ideas in writing, provide evidence to support arguments, and read challenging texts. Our students graduate prepared for college. Our classes and highly structured four-year advisory system help students develop individual and social responsibility by setting the highest personal and academic standards. Our students acquire a set of values and a sense of kinship that allows them to reach ambitious goals. We develop rich, caring, and warm relationships with our students through our bustling sports and after-school programs. Our students are welcomed and valued members for our school community.
