Parkway South's Class of 2011 Graduates
Parkway South seniors said goodbye to high school Friday night during the their graduation ceremony at Queeny Park.
It may have been Friday 13th, but it was a lucky Friday for the graduating class of 2011. In spite of some strong winds, the cold weather and rain did not hit the event, which was held at Queeny Park.
Parkway South Principal Gary Mazzola told the audience of the many accomplishments of the graduating class, including earning nearly $11 million in total scholarships.
Nearly 2,000 students graduated Friday. The Valedictorian is Mona Dai and the Salutatorian is Meghan Scanlon.
