Palmer ISD -

Welcome to Palmer Elementary School, Victoria Blake!

Hi! My name is Victoria Blake and this will be my 7th year of teaching! I was raised in Ennis and graduated with my teaching degree from East Texas A&M University.

My husband and I have two wonderful kiddos: Karaline, who will be in first grade at Palmer Elementary, and Brooks, who is eight months old. We also have a golden-doodle named Ranger! In my spare time, you can usually find me spending time with my family, watching movies, traveling, or reading a good book!

I am so excited to be apart of Palmer ISD and look forward to meeting my students and their families!

Welcome to Palmer Elementary School, Amanda Zambiasi!

Hello! I am excited to join the Palmer Elementary family as the General Education Counselor. This marks my 18th year in education and my 8th year as a school counselor. Before becoming a counselor, I taught Special Education and served as a Head Cross Country and Track Coach.

My husband, Travis, and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary this year. We have three wonderful children. Adelyn will be in 3rd grade and loves tumbling and anything that lets her be creative. Zak is starting Kindergarten and tells the best stories and jokes. Jaxon, our youngest, will be in Pre-K. He is full of energy and keeps our family on our toes!

We are excited to join the Palmer community and look forward to getting to know everyone. I can't wait for a wonderful school year!

Welcome to Palmer Middle School, Cheryl Bagby!

I am so excited to be joining the Palmer ISD family as a math teacher this year! This will be my 11th year teaching math, and I can't wait to share my love of learning with my students.

A little about me—I met my husband while we were both serving on active duty in the U.S. Army, and this December we'll be celebrating our 28th wedding anniversary! We have two incredible sons. Our oldest is finishing his degree at Texas Tech University, and our youngest is currently attending the Firefighter Academy.

When I'm not in the classroom, you'll usually find me curled up with a good book, watching a great movie, or traveling with my family. I'm beyond excited to become part of the Palmer Middle School community and can't wait to meet all of the amazing students, families, and staff. Here's to a fantastic school year!

Welcome to Palmer Middle School, Tabbetha Fernandez!

Tabbetha Fernandez is proud to begin her career as a paraprofessional at Palmer Middle School, returning to the district that has been a significant part of her life. A lifelong member of the Palmer community, she attended Palmer schools from elementary through high school, where she graduated and was actively involved in athletics.

With a passion for helping students learn and grow, Tabbetha is excited to give back to the school district that helped shape her. She is committed to creating a positive and supportive environment where every student feels encouraged to succeed.

Outside of school, Tabbetha is the proud mother of two beautiful daughters who will also attend Palmer Elementary, making her family's connection to the district even more meaningful. In her free time, she enjoys playing slow-pitch softball and spending quality time with her family and friends.

Tabbetha looks forward to making a positive impact on the lives of Palmer students and being an active member of the Palmer ISD community.
