Having Fun While Preparing for Exams at Parkland High School


This comes to us from Nichelle C. Carroll, the Family and Community Involvement Coordinator at Parkland High School:

“On May 19, students and teachers at Parkland High School celebrated Parkland Spirit Week to prepare for upcoming exams in the most creative way. During the PEP RALLY, the Parkland Band played to kick off event, and teachers and students participated in activities that included “Are You Smarter than a Mustang?’ and a dance-off between ‘Old School’ and ‘New School,’ where teachers and students exchanged the latest dance trends compared to their teacher’s generation, connecting and building positive relationships in meaningful ways.”

“While Parkland teachers are collaborating to engage students and families, we premiered Parkland's ‘Knock Out’ Exams video to inspire and empower students. With the complete support of our Principal Spencer Hardy, Family and Community Engagement Coordinator Nichelle Carroll, Parkland Translator Keila Gudino, and the members of our testing department, a few committed teachers and students pulled together to engage students, families and teachers. This year Parkland leaders are encouraging teachers, students and parents to share Parkland’s “Knock Out” exam video on social media to spread the word and remind them of the 3 B's to success: Be Rested, Be Prepared and Be On Time!” 

You will find the video on YouTube at Parkland "Knock Out"
