On Thursday, October 22, 2026, the fifty-year 2026 Time Capsule was buried on the quad. Students watched and cheered as the Time Capsule was lowered into its ditch and students, staff, and volunteers took turns shoveling dirt on top.

The Time Capsule, which will be opened in 2076, contains more than 50 items representing Palms Middle School in 2026. You can see a list of those items and a slideshow from the burial event at the bottom of the Time Capsule web page.

The fourth of six Palms Previews begins on Friday, October 23, 2026, from 9:15am to 10:15am.

The Palms Middle School 2026 Time Capsule will be buried on the quad during lunch on Thursday, October 22, 2026. Students are welcome to watch as we lower the Time Capsule into the ground and fill the ditch.
