Palmerton is a great place to go to school. It is a very nice small town with a great community. The school has many ways to get involved and they have a great faculty and student body. I wouldn't have wanted to go to school anywhere else!

I attended Palmerton my whole life. Elementary through high school graduation. I made so many life long friends, I made memories that will last forever. I was involved in the drama club and I really found my passion for theatre there. I love performing and learning about music and art. Palmerton provided a safe environment for me to do so.

School-board is a joke. Scot Engler is definitely doing an inside job as of 2017-2019 with the lawsuit against Husar If it wasn't for the money Scot Engler wouldnt've gotten his contract renewed. The teachers "NEED" more money even though 60K a year isn't enough for them. I wish I had more choices for high school. I definitely would not have picked this school of course

Average school, but more concerned with taxing the community to fund their buying properties & upgrading sports fields. The taxes raise while test scores fall.
