Our organization was founded by Dr. Randall Parr, KTJ. Somewhat of a renaissance man, Dr. Parr has traveled much of the world and earned acclaim in multiple fields, ranging from the entertainment industry as a musical virtuoso and producer to the military ministry as an officer in the United States Naval chaplaincy. He is an internationally published writer, consultant, and a frequent guest lecturer on character education at Universities and professional conferences.
A life-long student of history’s most influential leaders with over twenty years of experience in creating effective ethics development programs for young people, his service to others has won accolades from many, including all branches of our military, the Washington Times, and honorable members of the U.S. Senate and Congress.
Dr. Parr is a knight of the historic Sovereign Military Order of The Temple of Jerusalem (Knights Templar). He is also a Rotarian and developer of the EarlyAct FirstKnight character education program, sponsored by Rotary Clubs for elementary and middle schools.

Knights of The Guild is a national award-winning educational services agency. Established in 1997 as a subsidiary of the nonprofit Randall Parr Organization, Inc., we provide character education to schoolchildren, helping them evolve as personal and social beings. Our purpose is to develop young people into ethical, morally sound, community-oriented, self-disciplined adults who will become responsible members of society.
Our unique approach to teaching young people creatively integrates the instruction of noble character and contemporary social skills with the exciting theme of gallant knights and chivalry. The basis of this parallel stems from the term, “knight”, which means “servant”. Highlighting the historic heroism of both male and female knights, our programs encourage students to seek high knightly standards and personal excellence, through which they can better serve their communities through knowledge, wisdom and compassion. ✠

“Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead. The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth.”
