We want to celebrate our school Librarian/Media Specialist, Mrs. Debra Gastelum, whose talents and skills we could not do without at PJSHS! Mrs. G. takes care of our literacy needs with a beautiful media center stocked full of high interest student materials, computers, and room for teachers to bring entire classrooms of students in to explore and research. Her monitoring, maintenance, and distribution of over 1,000 student devices is another feat in itself! She's also trained a wonderful student staff who assist her throughout the day as well. Please don't skip our media center upstairs whenever you visit our campus!

Our Palatka Jr-Sr High School Assistant Principal team is committed to meeting student needs and achieving school-wide goals together. With more than 100 culminating years of experience serving students and families through various educational roles right here in Putnam County, we have a vested interest in our community to support and prepare our Panthers for future success in whatever path they choose.
Our leadership team of APs also confidently coaches and supports our teachers and staff at PJSHS. Through intentional planning and collaborating together, our team is able to seek out, promote, and celebrate the accomplishments of all Panthers as often as possible. While this year is wrapping up soon, our work together has only just begun! Let’s Go Panthers!
