Lake City High School Student of the Month: Parker Piedmont

This year’s salutatorian at Lake City High School is runner and musician, Parker Piedmont. Parker has run cross country and track and plays the saxophone. He also loves building websites and things in general. For these reasons, he is interested in math, science and engineering in addition to music.

“Someday, I’d like to combine them into something really cool,” he said. In the fall, he will attend The University of Idaho and major in music performance and computer engineering.

When asked what advice he would give to younger students, Parker, who has a 4.378 GPA, replied, “Manage your time well. Your life will be so much less stressful if you do all your assignments in a timely manner and don’t stay up till midnight doing homework.”

But it’s not all work and no play for this salutatorian. It’s equally important to have fun. “It’s also important to remember to have fun. The further into high school you get, the more things people will want from you and the less time you’ll have for fun...So, make sure you spend as much time as possible with your friends and family,” he said.

It’s no surprise that his favorite memories involve friends. “I loved having movie nights with my cross country team...I also enjoyed late-night bowling with my bandmates after football and basketball games,” he said.
