Palmer High's IB Students Take on a Heavy Load, Happily
In this episode of Education Matters, we visit Palmer High School to explore their long-standing International Baccalaureate (IB) program — one of the most rigorous and rewarding paths a student can take.
Host John Notes sits down with IB Coordinator McKenzie Moore and students Oscar and Teagan, who share what it’s like to take six or seven IB classes, balance academics with sports, and create meaningful community impact through their CAS Project — including their “Trick or Trot” fun run fundraiser for early childhood education. 🏃♀️🍬
Hear how these students are preparing not just for college, but for life — building confidence, creativity, and global awareness along the way.
