Alumni Awards

Parker is so fortunate to have so many impressive alumni. Over the years, three awards have been created to recognize some of these individuals. The Athletics Hall of Fame recognizes alumni who were talented athletes while they were students at Parker. These individuals were not only recognized within the CIF, but also by their teams and coaches. The Arts Hall of Fame recognizes talented alumni in the arts and the Distinguished Alumni Award is given to alumni who have made a difference in their community.

DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI AWARD

The Francis Parker School Distinguished Alumni Award is presented to an alumnus/a who embodies the ideals of intellect, initiative and social responsibility which are the very essence of a Parker education.  This person is someone who has demonstrated remarkable leadership in his/her field of endeavor, attained local and/or national recognition and has made an outstanding contribution to the country, community or School. This alumnus/a may be a living or deceased person who completed at least one full academic year at Parker.
