Message from Principal Will Brown

Thank you for visiting Parkway West (virtually)!

Parkway West is a special admissions high school in West Philly. PWHS has a long history of helping Philadelphia’s youth to become college and career ready. Through the partnership and efforts of our staff, families, and the community, Parkway West has been able to offer our students a robust set of courses that are complemented by an array of co-curricular and extra-curricular activities and successful athletic programs.

Parkway West is the only high school in Philadelphia with an Early Childhood Education CTE Program. The purpose of the program is to introduce the students to the field of early childhood education through a newly designed curriculum beginning in the ninth grade. The students also participate in internships for real-life experience. Our graduates will leave the program with a CDA, which comes with nine college credits.

Parkway West students also have the opportunity to earn college credits through our dual enrollment courses taught right here at Parkway West.

As you navigate through our website, you will find general information about our vision, mission, and goals, as well as our academic, co-curricular, extra-curricular, and athletic programs and activities.  Additionally, we encourage you to visit our website regularly for school events and other items of interest. This website is a work in progress, and you can expect to see the site continuously expanding.

Thank you for taking the time to explore Parkway West High School – Home of the Hoyas!
