Meet Desi—12th Grade

“My favorite thing about being a Parker student is that ever since I stepped into the school, I've always been supported and pushed to explore my passions. Parker doesn't only want you to explore your passions, but will do everything possible to help you pursue them. My freshman year I discovered that I was very passionate about diversity, equity and inclusion, and administrators at Parker went out of their way to make sure I could pursue that passion in and outside of the school.”
