Palmyra Grammer & High Schools

From the booklet titled "Picturesque Palmyra on the Delaware" by Dr. R. H. Lamb in 1923.

Its educational facilities are unexcelled by any town of its size adjacent to Philadelphia. Near the station on the east side of the railroad is a fine brick school house for primary and middle grade pupils, that has a corps of competent teachers, and on the west side of the railroad, about 3 minutes walk from the station, is the high school building. To meet the present day requirements an extensive supplementary building has recently been added to it at a cost of one hundred and eighty-five thousand dollars, which makes it a very imposing structure. The school ranks very high as an educational institution. a large number of its pupils come from outlying districts and the towns along the railroad. The come and go by train or trolley.
