2026 Soaring Beyond Alumni Spotlight

Meet Kiya Parsons, Class of 2019

Once a Falcon, always a Falcon!

We are excited to introduce Kiya Parsons, LakeVille High School Class of 2019, who has found her way back home to the Falcon family! Today, Kiya serves as a School Counseling Intern and Premiere Sub at LakeVille High School, bringing her experiences and passion for helping others full circle.

After graduating from LakeVille, Kiya earned her B.A. in Psychology from Oakland University and is currently finishing her M.A. in Mental Health and School Counseling this semester.

Kiya’s journey has also brought her into an exciting new chapter—motherhood! She welcomed her daughter, Kalani Michel, on New Year’s Day, and describes her as her “biggest blessing and best friend.” As the first baby in the family, Kalani is surrounded by plenty of love and, according to Mom, perhaps just a tiny bit of spoiling! Kiya is also looking forward to becoming an aunt as her family continues to grow.

When Kiya looks back on her LakeVille years, some of her favorite memories happened just before game time. As a volleyball and softball athlete, she remembers hanging out with her teammates, laughing together, and making memories that have stayed with her. She loves that in a small community and small school, her teammates all grew up together and now, their children are growing up together, too.

One teacher who made a lasting impact on Kiya was Mr. Brioullet, who taught history and Driver’s Education. Although Kiya didn't pursue history in college, she credits Mr. B with helping her discover a passion for the subject. She also remembers him as one of the calmest Driver’s Ed instructors around!

During her time at LakeVille, Kiya was involved in volleyball, softball, Student Council, and National Honor Society. Today, she is putting her education and experiences to work helping students navigate their own paths which is something that makes her return to LakeVille especially meaningful.

Kiya’s advice to today’s students is simple but powerful:

“Slow down and let yourself be present. You don’t have to have everything figured out or constantly worry about what comes next. Some of the moments you’re living right now will become the memories you treasure most, so give yourself permission to enjoy them while they’re happening.”

We are so happy to have Kiya back where she belongs and look forward to watching her continue to make a difference in the lives of our students.

Welcome home, Kiya! Once a Falcon, always a Falcon!

#ChooseSchoolSports

Get Involved!
Why Choose School Sports?
Because school sports programs are different. While club, collegiate, and professional sports are focused on developing the best athletes, education-based athletics are focused on developing the whole person through invaluable life lessons.

Looking for a way to get involved at your school? For a sporting event to attend? For a cause to support? Choose School Sports!

Students: School sports programs help you develop character, build confidence, and gain friends and mentors for life. Talk to your school’s athletic administrator about participating!
Parents, educators and community members: School sports programs are where everyone can join. Everyone is welcome. And everyone belongs. Encourage the students in your life to get involved!
Sports fans: Attending your local schools’ athletic events supports student-athletes and their schools, your community and the mission of school sports. Thank you for your partnership!
With so many activities that students can participate in and so many events that fans can attend, the choice is clear: Choose School Sports!
