I love that the Academy At Palumbo is such a diverse and inclusive school! It is very clear that the teachers and staff care about us very much and will do their best to help prepare us for life outside of high school in the future. The connection that students and staff have together is something that you can't find in any other school. We have build such a strong school community and work together everyday to make it even better. The diversity in this school makes me feel included and heard. I'm so glad that I get to go to school with so many people from different backgrounds because I feel that it opens my mind up to learn about different cultures and traditions from my peers. The Academy At Palumbo is such a safe school environment, literally and metaphorically. I truly feel like I can be myself without judgement because we are such a supportive school community. I am so proud to be a Griffin at the Academy At Palumbo and I wouldn't want it any other way!
Academy at Palumbo is a great school! It's a very diverse learning facility, with a very rigorous curriculum. There are plenty of clubs and student made organizations with different ethnic backgrounds. The teachers are very involved and truly want the best for their students. I would definitely recommend this school to anyone who's searching for a safe diverse learning space.
My first year in Palumbo was amazing! Although sometimes when they had school events, it was not organized, it was still a fun experience. But, I really wish they had more clubs, especially clubs that could help someone's mental health because during my first year of high school something happened and I really needed help. I don't trust counselors, so I didn't ask them from help. But, if there was a club, I would most definitely join it.
