EXHIBIT 31.1


          Certification of Chief Executive Officer
    Pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14(a) or 15d-14(a)


I, Brian E. Shore, certify that:

1.   I  have reviewed this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
     the  quarterly  period  ended  May  30,  2004  of  Park
     Electrochemical Corp.;

2.   Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any
     untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state  a
     material fact necessary to make the statements made, in
     light of the circumstances under which such statements were
     made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by
     this report;

3.   Based  on  my knowledge, the financial statements,  and
     other financial information included in this report, fairly
     present in all material respects the financial condition,
     results of operations and cash flows of the registrant as
     of, and for, the periods presented in this report;

4.   The  registrant's other certifying officer  and  I  are
     responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure
     controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
     13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the registrant and have:

     (a)  designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or
          caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be
          designed under our supervision, to ensure that material
          information relating to the registrant, including its
          consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others
          within those entities, particularly during the period in
          which this report is being prepared;
     (b)  evaluated  the  effectiveness of the  registrant's
          disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this
          report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the
          disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the
          period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and
     (c)  disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's
          internal control over financial reporting that occurred
          during the registrant's most recent fiscal quarter (the
          registrant's fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual
          report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably
          likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal
          control over financial reporting; and

5.   The  registrant's other certifying officer and  I  have
     disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal
     control  over  financial reporting, to the registrant's
     auditors and the audit committee of the registrant's board
     of  directors  (or  persons performing  the  equivalent
     functions):

     (a)  all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in
          the design or operation of internal control over financial
          reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect
          the registrant's ability to record, process, summarize and
          report financial information; and
     (b)  any  fraud, whether or not material, that involves
          management or other employees who have a significant role in
          the registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
