Meet the Librarian

Hi O. Henry families! My name is Janette Palacios and I am so excited to join the OHE team as the new librarian. This is my 11th year in education, and I’ve always had a big love for libraries and reading. I’m married, have five wonderful dogs, and can’t wait to help students discover their next favorite book and grow their love of reading!
