Welcome to Palmer Middle School, Jasmine Bailey!
Hi! My name is Jasmine Bailey. I earned my bachelor's degree from Henderson State University in May 2024 and my master's degree from Abilene Christian University in December 2025.
I've always had a passion for sports and played basketball from the time I could walk until I graduated from college. Although this is my first year as a teacher and coach, I couldn't be more blessed to begin my career at Palmer. I feel incredibly blessed to call Palmer home, and I look forward to building relationships with my students, athletes, and the community!

Welcome to Palmer High School, Megan Foote!
✨ Hello, Palmer Family! My name is Megan Foote! ✨
I am beyond excited to kick off this amazing school year and can't wait to meet all of your smiling faces!
A little about me...
This year marks 10 years in nursing and my second year as a school nurse—and I truly love what I do! Caring for students and helping them stay healthy so they can learn is such a rewarding privilege.
I earned my nursing degree through Tyler Junior College, and I'm so thankful for the journey that brought me here.
I have been happily married to my high school sweetheart, Jordan, for almost 10 years. Together, we have two wonderful children, Leyton and Wyatt, who both attend Palmer Elementary. Being both a school nurse and a Palmer parent makes this community even more special to me!
I am looking forward to a year filled with learning, laughter, new friendships, and helping our students stay happy and healthy. Here's to an incredible school year!
💛🖤 Go Bulldogs! 🖤💛

Here is exactly how to answer the non-transfer question:
Select "No" if your student has attended Palmer ISD for the past 12 months.
Select "No" if they are an incoming 9th grader who attended Palmer Middle School last year.
Select "Yes" only if they are entirely new to the district or moved to Palmer from another school district within the last year. Selecting "Yes" will prompt you to complete the required UIL PAPF details so the athletic department can verify eligibility

Welcome to Palmer High School, Roanna Croker!
Howdy, Palmer!
I'm excited to be joining the Palmer Pack as a Biology teacher! This is my 22nd year in education, and while I've taught a variety of high school science courses, biology has always been my favorite. There's nothing better than studying one of God's greatest creations—life!
Originally from Overland Park, Kansas, I made my way to Texas and became a proud Aggie. My husband, Shane, and I have been married for 31 years and have two grown sons, Jameson and Jonathan. We also share our home with two dogs and a flock of chickens!
When I'm not teaching, you'll find me cooking, singing, making soap, raising cattle, or tackling a new project just for the fun of learning something new.
I'm looking forward to meeting my fellow Bulldogs and making it a great 2026 school year. Stop by and say hello—I just might have a fresh pot of coffee waiting!
