Parrish High School is a secondary education public school located in Parrish, Alabama and is 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]
The Parrish High School football team plays its football games at Harland-Nelson Stadium. They won the AHSAA Class 1A State Championship in 2003. Their arch-rivals in all sports are considered to be the Blue Devils of Cordova High School and The Oakman High School Wildcats.
