The Palmer ISD Board of Trustees is pleased to announce the selection of Dr. Jacob Duce as the Lone Finalist for Superintendent of Schools. Following an extensive search and interview process, Dr. Duce was unanimously chosen for his student-focused leadership, dedication to academic excellence, and proven experience in supporting fast-growing school districts.

Dr. Duce brings a strong background in public education, having served in various leadership roles where he championed student achievement, educator development, and strategic planning. His commitment to building strong school communities and expanding academic and career opportunities aligns closely with Palmer ISD’s mission and values.

“I am honored and excited to join the Palmer ISD family,” said Dr. Duce. “This is a district with a proud tradition, dedicated staff, and a clear commitment to student success. I look forward to partnering with the Board, staff, families, our students, and the community to build on that tradition and create even greater opportunities for all students.”
