Palma Admissions

Welcome to Palma Admissions and thank you for your interest in Palma High School. Palma has been educating young men and graduating leaders throughout the Central Coast since 1951. Founded by the Irish Christian Brothers, Palma is a private, fully accredited, college preparatory, all-boys Catholic institution whose purpose is to educate and nurture the young men of our area into the leaders of tomorrow.

99% of our graduates continue on to a post-secondary education, moving on to some of the finest academic institutions our country has to offer. Palma offers 11 Advanced Placement classes, numerous honors classes, as well an award wining band, fine arts department, and numerous clubs and activities for our students to choose from.

Out of the classroom, our students take a tremendous amount of pride in their athletic achievement as well as their work in the community. Palma offers 12 varsity level sports that have won a combined 57 league championships and 17 CCS championships over the past 20 years. While in our community, this year's senior class has already exceeded over 7,300 hours of community service to the Salinas Valley and beyond.

As you can see, great things happen at Palma on a daily basis. If you are interested in hearing more about these "great things," please contact me at the school or click on the "Contact" button and we can send some information to you and your family.
