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.
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.
