For over 100 years, Francis Parker School has cultivated the best in our graduates. Hear what some of our alumni have to say about their experience.
Sometimes people ask me, “What was the most important part of your education?” and I always say it was the years I spent on Randolph Street. It’s a grand institution, and I’m very lucky to have been a student at Francis Parker School.
People in college thought it was so strange that I kept in touch with Parker teachers and considered them friends. No one else really had that experience. I don’t know any other school where you can list so many teachers and how much of an impact they made.
One of the activities during my time at Parker that had the most impact on where I am today was the time I spent preparing for and competing in Science Olympiad. It helped me develop the fundamental problem-solving abilities that I use every day as an engineer.
