Palmetto Singers is the name of our 4th and 5th after school chorus led by our music teacher Mrs. Dodgens. The group has 40 members this year and they have started to prepare for their Winter Concert. Their first concert of the year will take place on Tuesday, December 5th @ 6 PM at Palmetto High School.
Our school has started a new leadership program called Leader in Me. The students are learning valuable lessons each day that will help them become proactive learners, thinkers, and of course, leaders. This program also creates a positive school culture. PTO would love to purchase every student a t-shirt to show their PES pride. The shirts cost approximately $7 each, and we have 550+ students. With your help we can make this happen. If you’d be willing to donate money toward a student’s tshirt please click the link below.
Special thanks to the following businesses for donating:
*House of Pizza - 14 shirts
*Raines on Main - 21 shirts
We can’t tell you how much your donation means to us!

Elementary start and ending times will change for next school year across all elementary schools in Anderson School District One. Palmetto Elementary will start at 7:55am and end at 2:15pm.
***The doors will still open for students to be dropped off at 7:20am as it has been in the past. The only change is the school day will begin at 7:55am in classrooms and dismissal will be at 2:15pm.
This time allows teachers to work collaboratively in grade levels or subject areas to define essential standards, create common formative assessments, and create methods for acceleration and remediation for students. Elementary schools are working on their class schedules to minimize any impact on direct instructional time. The new time change also allows our bus schedule to run much more efficiently and may allow buses to operate on a more timely afternoon schedule for student pick-up at the middle and high schools.
Well, that's a wrap for year 2022-2023! What an amazing year at PES!!! From field day to field trips galore to move up day to graduations and final walkthroughs, there is no doubt the end of the year was packed with nonstop fun and memories made by all!
We hope everyone has a safe and wonderful summer and look forward to seeing everyone back in August!
