Mayor Cherelle L. Parker '94  

Honorary Alumni Ambassador 

Cherelle L. Parker, was born to a single teenage mother and raised by her grandparents, James and Dorothy Parker, in West Oak Lane.  Cherelle realized her dreams through the support of her family and community, and a belief in the transformative power of education. 

Cherelle L. Parker has spent her career in service to her City, her community, and her family.  She attended Philadelphia public schools from K-12. After high school, she was the first person in her family to go to college, earning her bachelor’s degree from Lincoln University and later obtained her master’s degree from the University of Pennsylvania.

Cherelle L. Parker served for ten years as a State Representative representing Northwest Philadelphia (2005–2015). In 2005, when she won her election, she made history as the youngest African American woman ever elected to Pennsylvania’s State Legislature. In Harrisburg, her colleagues elected her to chair the Philadelphia Delegation, where she earned a reputation as one of the most effective legislators in the state.
