History

Parkway South High School opened in 1976, the bicentennial of the United States Declaration of Independence. For this reason, the school mascot is the patriot and the colors are red, white, and blue. The school was supposed to be completed in 1974, and the mascot would have been the rebel; the colors were going to be orange, blue, and black. However, construction was delayed, and the colors and mascot were changed to a bicentennial theme.
