The following values are important to the fulfillment of Parkland College’s mission to provide programs and services of high quality to our students and community.

• Responsibility. We believe that employees and students are personally and mutually accountable for their actions as they carry out their duties.

Likewise, we understand the importance of balancing personal accountability with graciousness in the acceptance of help from others.
