This week, we want to give a huge thank you to our amazing bus drivers for keeping our students safe every single day. From early mornings to after school routes, field trips, and athletic events, our drivers greet our Panthers with a smile and make sure everyone gets to and from school safely. We appreciate your dedication, patience, and care — you are an essential part of our school family!
✨ Tips for safety:
🚗 For drivers: Slow down and be aware of all school zones and bus stops. Never pass a stopped school bus with flashing red lights.
🧒 For our Panthers: Follow the driver's instructions, remain seated, keep aisles clear, and do not shout or throw objects. Know the location of emergency exits and always use the handrail when entering or exiting the bus.
👨👩👧 For our Panther families: Remind your children to follow school bus safety rules and etiquette.
Small choices make a big difference! 💪


🥇 Girls Team – 1st Place!
Medalists: Harper finished 2nd (13:31), Austee 3rd (13:39), and Gabbie 8th (14:59).
🥈 Boys Team – 2nd Place, just one point shy of 1st!
Medalists: Jacen placed 3rd (13:07) and Carson 6th (13:21).
What an incredible way to finish the season — we are so proud of our Panthers! 🧡🖤

This morning, our Palmyra Missouri High School Panthers welcomed Palmyra Elementary School students to school and had fun with them in the gym before the morning assembly! 🎉 Thank you to all of our PHS Panthers who lend a helping hand where they are needed, give high fives, shoot some hoops, and put smiles on little Panthers faces!
Thank you to our two PHS football players who took time to read to Mrs. Van Manen & Mrs. Hultz's 3rd grade class and Mrs. Keim's 4th grade class. 📚🏈. These moments make us proud to be one big Panther family! 🧡🖤

The students joined other area schools where they explored different industries, met professionals, and discovered future opportunities.
A big thank-you to our MS Counselor, Mrs. McBride and to all who helped organize this hands-on learning experience for area students! 🙌






Students toured several local landmarks, including the Old Marion County Jail Museum, the Marion County Courthouse, and Big Spring Park, and also enjoyed a historical bus tour around town. They listened to presentations by the Stuhlman Brothers about wagon making and even had the chance to climb aboard a Stuhlman Bros. wagon! The day wrapped up with lunch and exploration at Flower City Park.
A huge thank you to all the community members who shared their time and knowledge to help our students learn more about Palmyra’s past and present — Gary Stuhlman, Larry Stuhlman, Ellen Stuhlman, Carol Brentlinger, Betsy Welty, Mary Bross, Christine Crawford, and the Palmyra Parks and Recreation Department. #PantherPrideInTheCommunity


















Come out to the PHS courts at 3:30 PM to cheer on the Panthers and show your support!
Let’s go, Panthers! 💪🐾

Our Chemistry and Anatomy students in Ms. Freels' classes have been busy exploring science in action!
💧 Chemistry students used electrolysis to collect oxygen and hydrogen gas. They also observed the bright blue glow of luminol as it was oxidized by hydrogen peroxide.
🍬 Anatomy students got creative, using candy and snacks to model the structure of compact bone—a fun and tasty way to learn!
We love seeing our students experiment, explore, and make learning come to life! 🧡🖤 #PantherPrideInTheClassroom






Come out Monday as our Lady Panthers take on Hannibal in their final home game of the season!
We are also hosting an Orange Out in support of JT — wear your orange and show your Panther pride!
Let’s pack the stands and cheer loud before the girls head into District play starting Wednesday! 💪🔥
