Parrish High School was a secondary education public school located in Parrish, Alabama and was a part of the Walker County School System.
The original Parrish High School building opened in 1920 on the present site of Parrish Elementary School. The school was moved in 1935 to a site on the hill to the west of the elementary school. This site was consumed by fire in 1979 and subsequently moved to its current location just off Alabama 269. An on-campus football stadium was built some years later, named Harland-Nelson Stadium.[1]
In 2014, the Walker County Board of Education voted to close the high school after the 2013–2014 school year along with Sipsey Jr. High School and T.S. Boyd Elementary School due to budget constraints.[2] Parris High School students not graduating that year were transferred to two nearby schools; they chose between either Oakman High School in Oakman or Cordova High School in Cordova.[3] [4]
