No, the word 'through' is not a verb.

The word 'through' is a preposition, adverb, or an adjective.

Examples:
The ball went through a window. (preposition, 'a window' is the object of the preposition)
We came through without a scratch. (adverb, modifies the verb 'came')
The through traffic must take the left lane. (adjective, describes the noun 'traffic')
When I finish this answer, I'm through. (predicate adjective, restates the subject 'I')

To test if a word is a verb, can we say the verb is 'to through'? We can say 'to throw', and say "I throw, You throw, He throws .." etc, but 'I through, You through, He throughs ..." just doesn't make sense! So through is not a verb.
