The lunch scene Wednesday on the Quad — with talent show performers on stage, students playing Spikeball and parents handing out cookies — was reminiscent of a pre-COVID era at Palo Alto High School, as more students return to in-person learning.

The talent show, organized by the Associated Student Body, featured three student performances. The second and final day of the talent show will take place on Friday, when students can come out to watch a band performance.
