Palmer ISD -

The PHS Hope Squad kicked off the 2026–2027 school year with their Fall Retreat! These students spent the day getting to know one another, planning projects for the year, and having meaningful conversations about how they can support the mental health and well-being of other PHS students.

Hope Squad is about creating a school community where students feel seen, supported, and reminded that they don’t have to face difficult moments alone. We are so proud of these students for choosing to be leaders, advocates, and a source of hope for others at PHS.

Meet our 2026–2027 Hope Squad Officers:
• Chloe McCarty – President
• Colbie Greenlee – Vice President
• Kenzie Havener – Secretary
• Claire Brown – Recorder/Treasurer
• Tatum Hildreth – 10th Grade Representative
• Emma Northcutt – 9th Grade Representative

We can’t wait to see the difference this amazing group makes throughout the school year!

You matter. You are valued. And there is always hope.

Please join us in celebrating Mrs. Fillmore, our August teacher of the month, and Mrs. James, our staff member of the month! Lots of planning and preparation went into Pre-K transitioning to the portables. Mrs. Fillmore helped campus and district admin problem-solve and maintained a smile throughout the transition. In addition to her positive attitude, she also loves her kids and makes sure that their first experience in school is FUN! Mrs. James joined our campus this year and continues to be a team player! From schedule changes, adding first and fourth grade music classes, or last-minute coverage, her answer is always, "Yes!" Our staff is incredible and works tirelessly to support our students and families. We are blessed with the best in PISD! 🖤💛🖤

English III wrapped up their Native American Creation story unit this week by presenting stories of their own. They used their brainstorming and collaboration skills to come up with their own very unique stories.

"Sneak Peek" at something new coming to Homecoming Week at PHS! Stay turned...

Our English I students wrapped up their poetry unit with a class quilt project representing the values, goals, and culture of our freshman class. Throughout the unit, students read and annotated poetry, shared ideas, presented their thinking, and wrote original poems. Each piece of the quilt represents an individual student, and when pieced together, they represent one unified class.

The elementary is excited to offer snacks and à la carte items during breakfast and lunch beginning Wednesday, September 16! Students must have money on their account to purchase these items. Please contact our Cafeteria Manager, Mellany Gentry, with any questions at mgentry@palmer-isd.org
