My name is Leigh Palmer, and I am your child's third grade teacher! This is my tenth year in third grade and my fourteenth year at Captain. My first four years I spent as a fourth grade teacher.
I am originally from New Orleans, LA. I went to the University of Wisconsin-Madison where I got a B.S. in Elementary Education with a minor in Psychology. I then moved back to New Orleans where I taught first and second grade for four years at my alma mater. In 1996, I moved to St. Louis and taught first and second grades at Forsyth School before coming to Captain. In December, 2016, I received a Master's in Elementary Education from the University of Missouri-St. Louis.
Personally, I have a wonderful family, my husband, Jordan, my children, Mallory (24) and Max (21), and our rescue dogs, Lucy and Cody. My daughter is working on her Masters in Education at Webster University, and my son is a senior at Missouri Science and Technology in Rolla, MO. In my free time I love to run, workout, read, cook, and watch movies.
I love teaching and am so excited to have your child this year!
