Parkside High

Day 9 of Parkside Marching RAMS Band Camp! Practice show performance tomorrow at 2 PM! Can't wait!

It's THANKFUL THURSDAY, and our honoree today is none other than Dwaine Shrieves, Parkside Building Service Manager. No one cares more about how Parkside CTE looks than Dwaine Shrieves. He is the first one in the building in the AM and many times closes the building down in the PM. He supervises a team that takes pride in their work and always go above and beyond to make Parkside CTE look great! He works weekends, early mornings, nights, and all while continuing his battle against cancer. We are so very fortunate to have Dwaine Shrieves as our Parkside CTE BSM! THANK YOU, Dwaine, for all you do! 💚🤍🐏🤍💚

We love seeing so many RAMFAM student athletes out there for day 2 of Parkside Fall AM sports practices. Volleyball, cross country, field hockey, girls and boys soccer...all hard at work! 💚🤍🐏🤍💚

Love seeing so many Parkside student athletes on the first day of fall PM practices!

Parkside student athletes and families, drop-off for fall sports is only available on the Beaglin Park Drive/Horticulture side of the building. Due to the roofing project, no one should be entering from Schumaker Drive. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Love seeing all of our RAMFAM student athletes out there this morning for the first day of fall practices. Football, cheer, and golf will be practicing this afternoon.

Parkside Marching RAMS working hard on Day 7 of Band Camp! Can't wait to see the practice run of the show this Friday!

Looks like RAMFAM Abi Gaddam (MD student member of the board) and Julia Gore (District 8 MASC liaison) had a great time at MASC Advance where they were able to meet with and collaborate with fellow student leaders! We love seeing our RAMFAM branching out and learning new things!

Today, when Mr. Briggs stopped by the New Teacher Academy to visit with a new Parkside teacher he was thrilled to see 2 recent Parkside graduates, Gracie Elswick and Paige Folke, who are staying here in Wicomico County and becoming teachers for WCPS! We love to grow our own here in WCPS and Parkside and love seeing RAMFAM as teachers leading the next generation! 💚🤍🐏🤍💚

Today began the New Teacher Academy for new teachers to Wicomico County. Parkside is thrilled to have Mr. Kevin Smith join the RAMFAM this year! Don't worry, we'll get him some green shirts 💚🤍🐏🤍💚

Week #2 of Parkside Marching RAMS Band Camp! It's really starting to come together! We can't wait to see the full show and performance! It's going to be great!

Today we had a coaches meeting with our Parkside coaches. It is amazing how many of our coaches are Parkside graduates!!! Not only did they love attending and playing sports at Parkside, they now have come back to Parkside as coaches to help guide the next generation of RAMFAM student athletes. Each of these in this picture is a Parkside graduate who now coaches at Parkside. We are even missing 2 of them from this picture. Just one more thing that makes Parkside so great!!!
