Gary Monter Homepage

Thank you for visiting the Palmer Public School Website and for visiting my website.  Subscribe to the Palmer e-Bulletin here! My name is Gary Monter and I am the Superintendent/Principal of Palmer Public School.  I've been a professional educator for 23 years, the first six of which were strictly teaching/coaching; followed by several years of administration/coaching.  For the past 17 years, my career as an educator has consisted of various roles within school leadership/administration.  You may click here for a detailed history of my experience as an educator. My most recent Newsletter article can be found at this site.  If you would rather read articles pertaining to education, written by a professional writer, this link will take you to some relevant articles.  Additionally, readers can link an overview of the November 21, 2007 Long Range Planning meeting. To know a bit more about me you can review my  Individual Educational Platform.  Visitors may also review About for further insights. I've resolved to regularly refresh the proverbs and quotes below.  Some will stay indefinitely. One who is too insistent on his own views, finds few to agree with him.                     ~ Lao Tzu Vision without action is a daydream.  Action without vision is a nightmare.                     ~ Anon "The ESEA [No Child Left Behind Act] is like a Russian novel. That's because it's long, it's complicated, and in the end, everybody gets killed." ~ Scott Howard, former superintendent, Perry Public Schools, Ohio. Hard work, sacrifice and focus will never show up in tests. ~ Lance Armstrong
