My experience in Palmer was a memorable place in my High school years. I love the events and the occasions that I did that will stick with me as a memory of my past. This School was great in my opinion, especially the events and the parties and people who are here. I enjoy my stay and sadly will have to leave when my year ends but I will be sure to visit and see my school change throughout the years.

Palmer highschool was an amazing school. The town of Palmer is small but very social. The classes are are often small giving teachers a chance to work more closely with the kids. Being a small town most people know each other and because of this both parents and students often involves their selves with the school. The faculty are extremely good at keeping parents informed of their kids and work diligently in keeping the school a safe place for kids. I loved my time their and know that it is because of them that I am where I am today. Most of the kids are well behaved and very social and while some of them are rude or rebellious thay never go to far before a teacher or fellow student pulls them back. Over all Palmer high school is an amazing school and with amazing teachers and I am thankful that I graduated from there.

As a parent, I thought a small school would offer a caring environment where everybody knows everybody. Where teachers would not only know my kids name but to be there for him when school can be tough. He has been dealt one bad hand after another. I assumed the person over seeing scheduling would ma...
