Legendary principal Tom Parker turned around Turlock High
In 1978, Turlock High School was a tough place – for teachers, students and even the police officers who visited occasionally. Tom Parker changed all that.
Tom became principal of Turlock High in 1979 and stayed through 1997. In those 18 years, he became a legend as he changed the culture of the school and the entire Turlock Unified School District. Tom died April 29.
Tom began his career as a teacher and football coach at Berkeley High School, later becoming principal. He developed a reputation as a take-charge administrator. And he needed all his skills when he arrived at THS. ========================================================================= Keith Conning: Tom Parker was the Principal of Berkeley High School.
