Time Capsule

Time Capsule Project: 2025-2026

In 1976, Palms students, parents, and staff buried a Time Capsule under the quad. It's been 50 years since then, so we will dig up that Time Capsule in Spring 2026, and bury a new Time Capsule of our own.

Preparation start now. We need parents to help with planning and to track down former Palms students from 1976.

See our Time Capsule page for details and for the Time Capsule Volunteer Form.
