While our students are at PTS, strong bonds are formed with faculty—in the classroom, in extracurricular activities, and through the advisory program. We become family. These bonds strengthen as time goes on, and students realize what a special place PTS is—a place where they are truly loved.

What impressed me the most that day was that, even though the school was small in size, it had a thriving, vibrant, palatable heart and spirit. I started working in July, when the entire school was being freshly painted by Manuela. I was amazed that teachers, administrators and board members were on campus bustling with activity and preparing for the new school year. I knew almost immediately what a special school this was. That same heart and spirit has continued over the years and it is seen, today, at PTS. Mrs. Hester's de to the school wa prayers.

We opened six weeks later. Ned Dougherty There will always be a special place in my heart for Palmer Trinity School. During my years there, I appreciated the dedication of our faculty and my fellow administrators. Working with Judy Andrews was such a privilege and a joy. We knew that Palmer Trinity School was a special place where our students were growing, not only intellectually, but also in matters of the spirit. Students inspired us so often when they demonstrated care and love for one another and for their teachers— from a walk-a-thon for an injured student, to shaving their heads to show support for a teacher battling cancer, to caring for young children as part of their holiday offering. Palmer Trinity School is a place where lives are touched and values are formed for a lifetime. Laura Walker Victory Bell given by Class of 2002
