Huge congratulations to Palmyra-Eagle High School senior, Bailey L., for her incredible performance representing Team USA at the 23rd Annual NAPF North American Women’s Classic Regional Powerlifting Championships on August 4!
Bailey earned the opportunity to compete on this international stage after placing first in her weight class at the Powerlifting America High School Nationals in Omaha, Nebraska, earlier this year.
In her first-ever international competition, Bailey went a perfect 9/9 for the first time in her career and brought home four medals in the 57kg weight class:
🥈 Silver Medal: Squat - 110kg (242 lbs), matching her PR 🥉 Bronze Medal: Bench - 57.5kg (127 lbs), matching her PR 🥈 Silver Medal: Deadlift - 135kg (298 lbs), a New PR! 🥉 Bronze Medal: Total Weight - 302.5kg (667 lbs), a New PR Total!
As a multi-sport athlete, Bailey admitted that she often doubted herself in powerlifting, making her appearance on the international platform feel truly "surreal." Her success is a shining example of how "big things can come from a small-town program."
Head Coach Heidi Hyatt and the entire Palmyra-Eagle community are beyond proud to see our students take advantage of these unique opportunities and represent us across the country.
Please join us in celebrating Bailey's hard work and amazing achievement! 🎊🦾

Welcome to PEASD, Yvette Loiselle!
We are thrilled to welcome Yvettte to the Palmyra-Eagle Area School District family as our new HS/MS Agriculture Teacher!
Why PEASD: " I am excited to be joining the Palmyra-Eagle community! I have spent many exciting and rewarding years teaching science and agriculture students in Wisconsin and truly believe the best learning happens when students can roll up their sleeves and connect classroom lessons to the real world. I also worked in the agriculture industry, and grew up working in family businesses, which gave me valuable real-world experiences that I love sharing with students. I am passionate about agricultural education, FFA, leadership development, farmland conservation, and helping students discover the many career opportunities available in agriculture.”
Favorite Part of Teaching/Leading: “My favorite part of teaching is building relationships with students and helping them recognize their own potential. I love watching students gain confidence, develop leadership skills, and discover talents they never knew they had. Whether they're in the classroom, greenhouse, the field, volunteering, the shop, or competing through FFA, I want every student to know they belong and can be successful.”
Outside of School: "When I'm not at school, you'll usually find me spending time on my hobby farm with my horses, dogs, chickens, and cats, working outdoors, crafting or sewing, riding my motorcycle, or tackling my next home or farm project. I also enjoy exploring Wisconsin's natural areas and have always had a passion for soils, lakes and rivers, the environment and wildlife.”
Fun Fact: “One thing people might be surprised to learn about me is that I'm just as excited to learn as I am to teach! I've taught everything from biology and earth science to veterinary science and forestry field studies, but there's always something new to learn and I am looking forward to all of the fun classes and new experiences this new year brings! I love finding new ways to make learning meaningful, hands-on, and fun. I believe some of the best lessons happen outside the classroom and that every student has unique strengths waiting to be discovered. Let's do this!
