The Tucker Maxon School, located in southeast Portland, was founded in 1947 to teach children with impaired hearing. The school offers early intervention, preschool, kindergarten and elementary school programs. All programs feature physical education, music and art.
Tucker Maxon School was in need of a deck to access a vital exit at the school and Parr agreed to make the donation to help the school. Parr has been an avid supporter of the school and its efforts.
We were thrilled to be able to make the donation to help such a fabulous school more accessible to all, said David Hamill, Chief Executive Officer of The Parr Company.
About Tucker Maxon School
The Tucker-Maxon School was founded in 1947 by a Harvard-trained attorney, Paul Boley whose daughter became deaf at the age of 18 months due to meningitis. The Tucker-Maxon School has been ranked among the top schools in the country and valued for its innovative service and dedication to teaching deaf children to speak, laugh and sing! Over the years, Tucker-Maxon has never lost its early spirit of cooperation and contribution.
