THE HISTORY
Palumbo opened its doors on September 12, 2006 with CEO Paul Vallas, South Region Superintendent John Frangipani, and CAO Gregory Thorton attending. The school opened as a magnet school for gifted students, striving to build an educational environment which prepares students for higher education. To see a full experience of the opening experience, click on the Academy @ Palumbo link bellow.
With such a recent opening, the history of Palumbo is very recent. This means that unlike most magnet schools, Palumbo does not have a large alumni population. However, Palumbo prides itself on the academic performance of the alumni. For example, the class of 2010 were accepted to over 65 different
colleges and universities in over 15 states across the
country (PhilaK12).
Palmubo prides itself on having wonderful, highly engaged, and motivated students. Click the link below to hear more about the culture of the school.
