Facilities 2050: Planning for Parkway’s Future
Honoring Our Past,
Preparing for Tomorrow
In Parkway’s early years, the challenge was keeping up with massive population growth.
In the 1960s and 1970s, Parkway transformed from a semi-rural area into a suburban community with a rapidly increasing school-age population. The district built 20 new schools during those decades to educate them.
Today, the challenge looks very different. Enrollment is slowly declining, as birth rates lower, and our schools — with an average age of 57 years — are showing their wear.
Our challenge now is to position our facilities to best serve our current and future generation of students — and to ensure those decisions are closely connected to how we plan and protect our fiscal health.
Facilities 2050 is a collaborative effort shaped by the voices of our staff and community. It is our commitment to ensuring that every Parkway student learns in spaces that are safe, modern, and inspiring. By aligning facilities planning with budget planning, we can invest wisely and protect what matters most — our students, our staff, and our community’s investment in Parkway schools.
