Parkway Schools

Welcome to the Parkway School District's Inauguration 2009 Web page. Sixty-three juniors and seniors representing Central, North, South and West high schools, along with 12 chaperones, will travel to D.C. on January 17th to be part of the inauguration of the 44th President of the United States of America. Parkway is "in the house," and we want to share our experience with you!

You are invited to join us in a variety of ways prior to the event, during the event, and after the event.
