OUR HISTORY
Palm Elementary opened in August of 2005, replacing the previous Palm Elementary School. That building was built in 1953 and was given its name because it faced Palm Avenue. It was one of the many new schoolhouses built to meet the population increase due to the post WWII “Baby Boom.” The building is designed to hold 350 students for an investment of $6.8 million, of which 80% came from the state of Ohio.
