This website is maintained and hosted by a fellow classmate and is completely FREE to all alumni who are listed as a classmate. This website considers a "classmate" or “alumni” to be anyone who was a member of the Parkway West Senior Class of ‘82.  If you see a YELLOW STAR by someone’s profile, it indicates the classmate has been on this website and updated his or her profile with current information.

Before you can update your personal information and access password protected pages, you must create your profile and password. Please click on Classmate Profiles, find your name and click on it. Follow the prompts to create your profile and password. The password you enter during this process will be used as your login password. If you cannot find your name on the Classmate Profiles page, please use the Contact Us button to have your name added.

Once you create a profile, you will also be able to view profiles of your fellow classmates and begin interacting with them.  You also have the option to password protect your personal profile which blocks the general public and search engines from finding you.

Please add a photo to your profile so everyone can recall what each of us used to look like.


Once you have created your password and updated your profile, you may choose to keep your personal information private, such as your street address and phone number. Normally when other registered users click on your name, they will see your city and state, and any other contact information that you choose to put on your profile. However, even if you select to keep your profile private, if you send a message to a classmate through his or her profile, that classmate will obtain your email address.
