"After two years as a PALMS site, there's definitely more of an interest in postsecondary education from our entire student body, and our staff is more aware of the importance of providing support." Advisors
Advisors to the PALMS project were selected for their expert knowledge in the areas of postsecondary preparation, middle-grades education, and family/school collaboration. We would like to thank the following people for their support during the development of our toolkit from 2004 through 2006.
