The proposal was crafted after a lengthy planning process during  which we gathered input from community members and staff along with information from a building condition survey conducted earlier this year.

In our recent past, we have experienced a time of uncertainty and challenges. But, through it all, our Pal- Mac family has remained steadfast in its commitment to our students.
