3/29/2023 -- Three Parkway schools have been named State Schools of Character for their dedicated focus on character development. Central Middle and South Middle schools and Parkway’s Early Childhood Center are new recipients.

“Each of these schools and districts have put into place an initiative that equips and empowers their staff to reinforce and model a range of positive core values that will shape and form the hearts, minds, and choices of their students,” said Dr. Arthur Schwartz, president of Character.org.
