National Parent’s Day Celebration

Dukesway Academy, Inc. is proud to announce an upcoming event in observance of National
Parents’ Day, a day dedicated to honoring the vital role parents play in the growth and
success of children and families. Our mission is simple but powerful: To strengthen parents
so they can strengthen their families. Our motto says it best — “Parents Are the First
Teachers.”

Although National Parents’ Day falls on the last Sunday in July, this year we will celebrate on
July 26, 2025, with a community-focused event filled with recognition, inspiration, and joy.
This national observance, signed into law in 1994 by President Bill Clinton and introduced by
Senator Trent Lott, was designed to uplift the importance of parenting and the family unit.
Inspired by this legacy, Dr. Karen Dukes, co-founder and CEO of Dukesway Academy, felt
compelled to bring this celebration to our community. With over 45 years of teaching
experience across three states, Dr. Dukes has devoted her life to empowering families and
educating children.

Our National Parents’ Day Celebration will include:
● Recognition from local churches and community organizations
● Uplifting poetry and music

● Youth talent showcases
● Encouraging messages and reflections
● Family and parenting resources
