Preparing Our Students for a Bright Future

At Terry Parker High School, we are known for encouraging students to pursue their passions and exceed their own expectations. Students have the opportunity to earn free college credits through our Dual Enrollment program which directly contributes to a strong resume for the future. We also provide multiple pathways to excel in the military and work diligently to prepare students for a successful career. As a Title I school, students and families have access to a wide array of services, including parenting classes and on-site counselors. All students benefit from one-on-one support through the exceptional education teachers who supervise and assist in our classrooms each day.

Abundant Academic Opportunities

We give our students the courage to dream big for themselves. We offer dual enrollment through Edward Waters University and Florida State College at Jacksonville. Eligible students will continue to work toward their high school diploma while also earning college credits. Our advanced career courses offer students an opportunity to explore in-demand fields such as digital media technology. All students will find abundant academic and wrap-around support at Terry Parker. Our goal is to ensure every student has every opportunity to reach their full potential.

School Spirit Shines

Our students know there is always something exciting to do at Terry Parker. We are incredibly proud of our wide variety of on-campus clubs and activities. Love drama or dance? Check! TV production? Gardening? Cooking? Check, check, and check! We also take tremendous pride in our Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (NJROTC) program. Our athletic programs are wildly popular with participants and fans alike. Our school spirit is stronger than ever!

Big Dreams Are Within Reach

We teach our students that through hard work, determination, and courage, big dreams are within reach. Terry Parker’s faculty and staff help students to focus on graduation and success beyond high school, regardless of path they choose. Our AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) program provides personalized academic, social, and emotional support while preparing students for college, the military, or a career. Our dedicated faculty are trained to help each child apply the key principles for success in life, while still in the supportive classroom setting.
