Parkrose board celebrates wide array of student achievements and welcomes new student leaders
Summary
At the working session the board recognized student winners across MESA, athletics, arts, debate and music, and introduced 2026–27 student leaders who pledged to 'use your voice' at the district table.
The Parkrose School District board opened its working session with a lengthy recognition segment honoring student accomplishments across academics, arts and athletics.
Students and coaches were named for achievements that included a state MESA design championship, district and state finishes in track and field, state trophies for the dance team, second‑place finishes for advanced video at state, debate state qualifiers and notable band and music program accomplishments. Several students spoke briefly about their competitive experiences; advisors and coaches were thanked by board leadership.
Board Vice Chair Brenda Reves welcomed a new cohort of student leaders for 2026–27 and encouraged them to participate actively on the board. "Use your voice and tell us what you want us to know," she said, urging students not to stay quiet and to bring forward concerns both large and small.
Why it matters: The recognitions illustrate the breadth of extracurricular engagement at Parkrose and underscore the district’s emphasis on pathways from school activities to postsecondary opportunities, including Mount Hood dual‑credit connections mentioned later in the meeting.
What’s next: The board recessed and reconvened for the official meeting; new student representatives will continue to participate in board activities and are scheduled to meet with board members during retreat planning and upcoming business meetings.
Representative quotes and names were captured directly from student introductions and coach remarks at the working session.
