William Parker High School
Howell's Parker High School is a vacant public high-school building in Marion Township (Howell, Michigan). It is a part of the Howell Public Schools district and was the sister school to Howell High School. It was completed in August 2007, and the nearly $70 million building is equipped with cutting-edge technology.
During the spring of 2006, construction on the new school advanced on schedule and within budget. Parker High School opened for the 2007-08 school year on September 4, 2007. Due to budget limitations the district was not able to keep Parker's doors open and was shut down in 2008 after one year of use.

Myself must I remake
Till I am Timon and Lear
Or that William Blake

Till truth obeyed his call....”

Their universal shout and high applause
To fill his ear; when contrary, he hears,
On all sides, from innumerable tongues
A dismal universal hiss, the sound
Of public scorn.”
