We were surprised and delighted when former Parkmont student David Clements stopped by in June to tell us he would be our summer contact for D.C.’s Marion Barry Summer Youth Employment Program. As an intern at D.C.’s Department of Employment Services, David was actively engaged in all aspects of MBSYEP, a program that has been providing jobs, mentoring, and training to young D.C. residents since 1979. David is now a rising senior at Morehouse College where he is majoring in psychology. We loved catching up with you, David. Congratulations on all of your success!
To all former Parkmont and Somerset students, we love to hear from you! Call, write, stop by. You can also keep up with Parkmont and keep us posted through Parkmont Past, our Facebook group for Somerset and Parkmont alums and former teachers, and through Parkmont’s Instagram, Facebook, and Bluesky accounts.
