Welcome back to school. I am Mr. Palmer, and I am so excited to the new music teacher at North Augusta Elementary.  I have taught elementary music for the past 22 years in Sumter, SC, and have recently relocated to the area.  I have three grown children and my youngest child is a senior in college.  We also have a dog, Duchess, who gets lots of attention at home.  I enjoy spending my free time with my family, playing music, hiking, and fishing.

I have a Bachelors of Music Education degree from Lander University and a Masters in Educational Administration from the University of South Carolina. 

This is my 23rd year teaching music, and I enjoy inspiring and challenging my students to reach their full potential. My principal musical instrument is the trumpet, but I play a variety of wind, string, and percussion instruments. 

I look forward to getting to know you and to having an amazing school year!
