Intimate class sizes and low student-teacher ratios are at the heart of joyful learning here at Palisades Episcopal School. Ours is a unique learning environment that fosters curiosity and creativity in your child. At PES, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. We celebrate individual strengths and talents to help students find a lifelong love of learning and a path that amplifies their unique gifts.
PES is accredited by the Southern Association of Independent Schools (SAIS) and Cognia (formerly AdvancED). In addition, PES is a proud member of the North Carolina Association of Independent Schools (NCAIS), the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS), the Southern Association of Independent Schools (SAIS) and the National Association of Episcopal Schools (NAES).
Today, we celebrated an early Pi Day with an annual PES tradition and a little friendly competition. Middle School students put their memory skills to the test, reciting as many digits of Pi as possible.

The top performers earned an extra sweet reward - the chance to “pie” one of their teachers with whipped cream.

With the sun shining and classmates gathered to watch, students cheered as some of their favorite teachers got pied in good fun. Laughter filled the air as faculty members showed their playful side, making this an unforgettable way to celebrate both mathematical achievements while also reminding us how fun our faculty can be. It was a perfect PES Pi Day!
We are excited to introduce Mrs. Staci Jackson, our First Grade Teaching Assistant and SWR Teacher! With 31 years of experience in education and four years at PES, Ms. Jackson brings a passion for learning, adventure, and creativity to her students every day.
When she’s not in the classroom, she loves gardening, hiking, traveling, and cooking—especially trying out new recipes! A dedicated LSU fan and beach lover, she also fosters Havanese puppies to help raise funds for families adopting internationally.
Exciting changes are ahead for Ms. Jackson in 2025! Her family is growing, and she couldn’t be more excited to welcome a future daughter-in-law and celebrate this joyful milestone with her son.
In the classroom, Ms. Jackson is passionate about helping students make connections across subjects, especially in SWR, reading, and writing. She loves seeing the lightbulb moments when students master tricky concepts! One of her favorite projects is Egypt Day in first grade, where students bring history to life through immersive, hands-on activities.
Join us in celebrating Ms. Jackson and the incredible work she does at PES!
