Palomino Culture
Palomino Primary (grades K-3) is located on a large campus. We share that space with Palomino Intermediate (grade 4-6), our partner in elementary education. Also located on our campus is the Ed Robson Family Branch Boys and Girls Club. The club provides after school care and a variety of programs to help meet the needs of our students and their families.
