The Bob Parlin Award

Newton South is founding a new award called the Bob Parlin Award. Organized by the South Human Rights Council, it will be awarded annually to a student who shows consistent and strong activism at our school, hence the award’s namesake. Mr. Parlin founded the first GSA in an American public school. For more information on his career, listen to this podcast by Greer Wheeler, Tamar Yeret, Amber Freiman-Polli, and Cate Mahoney, linked below.
