Today marks the start of the 2025–2026 school year at Parkside High School—and it also begins our celebration of Parkside’s 50th anniversary. Parkside High has always been, and will continue to be, a place of excellence, and we couldn’t be prouder of all this school and its thousands of students have accomplished over the decades.
We have so much to celebrate this year, and we hope as many members of the RAMFAM as possible will join us. There will be special events throughout the year, including a memorable 50th Homecoming, exclusive Parkside 50th merchandise, a PHS 50th Spring Gala welcoming all alumni, social media spotlights highlighting five decades of memories, and the creation of a Parkside Brick Garden where you can purchase personalized bricks to honor RAMFAM while beautifying the front of our school. And that’s just the beginning—more surprises are still to come!
Please keep an eye on our social media channels for updates. If you have ideas for celebrating Parkside’s 50th anniversary, we’d love to hear them. Reach out to our current principal and proud Parkside Class of 1991 graduate, Brian Briggs, at bbriggs@mywcps.org.
Today, we are starting by sharing our staff from the very first year of Parkside in 1975-1976. Please feel free to share or tag fellow RAMFAM!
Parkside, 50 Years of Tradition, Pride, and Excellence

Congratulations to Justin Riddleberger (Class of 2026), who spent June 25-28 at the Phantom Regiment Drum Major Academy at the University of Akron (Ohio). He is pictured here with Dr. Galen Karriker, Academy Director and Director of Bands at UA. Justin, we are so proud of you and thrilled that you got to experience this!
Will your child be a member of our new Parkside High Class of 2029? We will hold Freshmen Orientation 4 times over 2 days on August 5th and August 12th. There is plenty more information to follow, but we wanted everyone to save the dates (you only need to attend one session). We can’t wait to welcome you to the RAMFAM! 💚🤍🐏🤍💚

From Mr. Kelley and CTE Horticulture:
An Awesome Evening. Thank you, Mountaire Farms, and WBOC. The Farm to Table Scholarship Banquet was an evening to remember with student recognition, camaraderie of family and industry, and heartfelt messages of inspiration and wisdom. Each month during the school year, the Mountaire and WBOC family recognize an outstanding agriculture or culinary student for their passion and accomplishment. It was an honor for myself and Erin Burke to join our graduating Senior Kaitlyn Tyler, one of the ten students recognized.
CONGRATULATIONS, Kaitlyn!!! We're so proud of you!
