Faculty & Staff

Rooted in Community

Although many staff travel from different parts of the island, several staff live in Palisades or in the surrounding Pearl City area. Some staff attended Palisades Elementary School and graduated from Pearl City High School.

Staff experience ranges from beginning to veteran. Several of our staff have been in education or in state positions for over 20 years.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your child's teacher or the office.
