There are many cool people over the years that have graduated from Palmer High School.   One of them is a well-known NBA basketball player named Reggie Jackson. Reggie Jackson was born in 1990 in Italy and moved to the United States when he was five. He would move around a lot until settling in Colorado Springs when he was in the sixth grade. He played basketball for Palmer High School; in 2008, he won the Gatorade Player of the Year award. Reggie Jackson averaged 18 points per game and averaged a 92% free throw percentage. Reggie Jackson is also in the new NBA 2k23, and it is cool to see someone that went to the same high school as me in a high selling video game.

With such talent and skill, my question is, why is Reggie Jackson not in the Palmer Hall of Fame? Reggie Jackson is remarkably interesting because he attended the same middle school and high school as me. I wonder why I see a lot of people like judges and lawyers in Palmer’s Hall of Fame, but  an NBA player? Personally, I feel like his photo deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.
