Facilities

Parkwood High School gym was opened on August 10, 2007. Due to the overcrowding of the towns and schools, North Carolina has added trailers to Parkwood High School, as well as many other schools in Union County.

Parkwood High School currently has a newspaper called the Parkwood Blueprint. It also has a yearly literary magazine.

Parkwood has recently added a research/portfolio graduation project starting for the class of 2010. As seniors, they will have to present a portfolio and presentation that will meet the NCGP requirements in the fall of the year. Students will start this project in the first semester of their junior year in high school and will work on it through the time to present it. This project will determine 50% of their grade for English 4 and is now a graduation requirement.

Air Force Junior ROTC

The Air Force Junior ROTC, also known as Aerospace Science program, was created in 2006.[2]

Controversy

In 2010, a female teacher of Spanish was arrested and accused of having sex with a male student.[3]

On July 7, 2020, the Union County Board of Education voted 6-2 to change mascot from the Rebels to a new mascot to be determined.[4]
