Parkside High

Parkside CTE is thrilled to announce our first ever “RAMp It Up Recognition” award winners! Each month, this recognition highlights staff members who go above and beyond in their dedication to our students, colleagues, and the overall spirit of our school. Monthly winners are chosen based on many factors, including the content of their 'shout out', and also the quantity of kudos they receive. September's Winner: Demarcus Bowen Mr. Bowen went above and beyond to help a student find their retainers that they accidentally threw away at lunch. He dug through trashcans and wouldn't stop searching until he found them! October's Winner: Kelly Hartman Ms. Hartman had the MOST shout outs and kudos during the month of October. She has continued to go above and beyond in supporting staff as they work in supporting our students. Both of these phenomenal faculty members embody Parkside's commitment to excellence, teamwork, and the heart of what it means to be RAMFAM. Each received a RAMp It Up custom made cup and a certificate. If you see either one of them take a moment to congratulate them!
