    • Logan Nichols announced as candidate for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's 2020 Student of the Year.

      Parkwood Junior, Logan Nichols, has been accepted as a candidate in the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's 2020 Students of the Year campaign. Students are nominated based on leadership, passion to find a cure for blood cancers and involvement in the community. Candidates then participate in a national seven-week challenge to raise funds and awareness for the fight against blood cancers. This year's campaign begins on January 26, 2020, and culminates on March 13, 2020 with a celebration in Charlotte. Last year alone, there were more than 5,000 high school students participating throughout the country and this year we are excited to have Logan represent Parkwood High! She is running in honor of Will Henely and River Peedin, both local cancer survivors. To get involved or learn more about the campaign, please visit www.StudentsoftheYear.org.

      The National Beta Club has been encouraging and developing leadership skills in America's youth since 1934. The purpose of the Beta Club is to promote the ideals of honesty, service, morality, ethical conduct, and leadership among school students, to reward achievement, and to encourage and assist students in continuing their education after high school.

      Students who are officially in the Virtual Academy (Plan D) may allow their parents to sign off in lieu of teacher’s signature. The Beta Club sponsors will verify grades with each teacher.

      Beta Dues are $20 for new members. Students who join the Beta Club for the 2020-2021 hybrid school year will not have to pay dues again during the 2021-2022 school years. By joining Beta Club this year, students will be able to list on college applications that they were officially a member of Beta Club during their freshman year.
