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.
