Each week, staff at Riverton High School nominate a student who has shown outstanding behavior towards their peers and their academics. At the end of the year, County 10 will present a scholarship of $500 to one of the students nominated! Click here to view all students.
Parker Paxton was nominated as student of the week by Mrs. Tomi Kirkland:
“Par-ker, Pax-ton, clap-clap, clap-clap-clap!! This boy is the best! Need a student who always does their work and engages in class? Parker’s your guy. Need an athlete who shows up every single time, giving 100% and leading the team? Parker’s your dude. Need a peer who has your back? Parker’s your friend. Parker is an all-around amazing human; this is probably why he has been voted by his peers both as Prom King and Homecoming King. He is a crowd favorite at RHS. Parker is talented and tough. Parker is hard-working and humble. Parker also laughs at corny jokes and is happy to be in my class every day. “
Parker is involved in Golf, Basketball, and NHS. He has received 2022-23 Wyoming Boys’ Basketball Gatorade Player of the Year, and 4x individual 3A State Champion Golfer.
After graduation, Parker plans to attend the University of Colorado on a golf scholarship and study business.
Parker is the son of Curt, Kara, and Amy Paxton
