Palmyra High has many wonderful teachers that will go beyond to help their students. They have many chances to take some college classes with professors from college around the area.

Our schools a variety of clubs for students to participate in. These clubs are well organized with a school sponsor to oversee the groups. Students can participate in fun activities that the sponsor organizes. The administration is very supportive of students at our school and work hard to make sure that all students learn and succeed.
