PSH Homecoming - 9/30/11
Parma High School had it’s 85th Homecoming September 30th at Byers Field at Bob Bolton Stadium. It was one of the worst evenings, weather-wise, that we have ever had for homecoming. The rain, at times, was coming sideways. The parade was canceled and the floats were displayed under the east grandstands for judging. Fortunately for the halftime saw a lull in the weather and the Queen and her court were honored and the Queen, Ashley Devencenzo was crowned. The Alumni Band and the PSH marching band played before the game and at halftime. Thanks to the hearty alumni band members and alumni for showing up for this years Homecoming. You are truly “loyal PSH Alumni”. Parma High won the game against Stow-Munroe Fall HS in a really good game despite the weather. The bad weather returned after halftime.
On Saturday, in the PSH cafeteria before 600 students, the Homecoming King , Austin Deutsch, was crowned by Carol Lisy Bartel ’54 during the Homecoming Dance.

Going, Going, Gone........A Large Part of the History of Parma High School now gone
by
Tony DeMarco, '62 PSH Alumni Assoc.
On October 20th, 2010 the demolition of the first Parma High School began.
First they began to tear down the most resent addition to the building
added when the building was turned into the Parma City School District
Board of Education. On Monday the 25th they began to tear down the original
building which had stood from It's dedication in October of 1921, almost
89 years to the day. By Thursday, October 28 all that remained was the
rubble of a once proud educational building.
