About Radio Park
Welcome to Radio Park, home of the Mini Lions! Our school motto is “If it is to be, it’s up to me.” We follow our schoolwide positive behavior program STAR (Show Kindness, Take Responsibility, Act Safely, Ready to Learn). In 2023-2024, we were named a U.S. Department of Education Blue Ribbon school. Fun facts: Our name comes from a large radio tower that once stood near us, and in 2024, we had students from more than 15 countries.
