We are thrilled to share that Izzy Hogue, a proud PES alumna, has been named Student of the Month at Palisades High School.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Izzy graduated from Palisades Episcopal School last year, and it’s no surprise that she’s continuing to shine in high school. Her dedication, character, and hard work have always set her apart, and we are so proud to see her living out the values she embraced during her time at PES.

Congratulations, Izzy! Keep inspiring those around you!
Meet Mr. Jay Brooks - our dynamic and dedicated 2nd grade teacher who brings a perfect mix of energy, creativity, and heart to the classroom! Now in his 3rd year at PES and 5th year of teaching, Mr. Brooks is passionate about fostering both academic and social growth in his students. One of his favorite things about teaching is seeing former students return - taller, wiser, and filled with confidence - a reminder of the importance of the vital role that teachers play in the lives of their students.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Outside of the classroom, Mr. Brooks enjoys hiking, tackling puzzles, and spending time with his pets, Broski and Gravy. A basketball enthusiast through and through, you can often find him on the court playing, coaching, or cheering on his favorite teams.

We are so fortunate to have Mr. Brooks as part of the PES community!
