And the HMSA Kaimana Award goes to...

Parker School has earned first place honors from Hawaii Medical Service Association’s (HMSA) annual Kaimana Awards for the fifth year in row. Big Island schools are placed in the large or small division based on student enrollment and earn points throughout the school year based on student participation in athletics, academic performance, sportsmanship, healthy activities and community service. Parker’s first place win in the small school division earned them a $1,500 award in support of the school’s athletics program.

Head of School Search Update

Parker School is getting ready to say good-bye to our leader of 17 years, Dr. Carl Sturges, and hello to a new leader to take us into the future. Dr. Sturges will be retiring at the end of June 2020. We are grateful for Dr. Sturges’ unwavering vision, and commitment to Parker School. And, to ensure that his legacy lives on, we are now planning for Parker’s future and identifying our next Head of School.
