For the first time every, Palo Alto High School stage tech is behind the scenes of fully online theater productions. After weeks of preparation, stage tech team is hosting “Clue,” “Murder by Poe,” and “She Kills Monsters” via Zoom. The new virtual setting presents many challenges but also produces opportunities for creative adjustments, according to junior and assistant director Maya Mazer-Hoofien. “It was a little frustrating, but we made it work,” Mazer-Hoofien said. “We’re more confident with the virtual space, and we get so much input from each other.” Graphic: Kabir Advani.

With the college application season in full swing, many Palo Alto High School seniors have had to adjust to working on applications in an online environment. Senior Medha Atla said her virtual appointments with Paly College Advisor Sandra Cernobori have helped her with her applications. “I’m an only child,” Atla said. “I don’t have any older siblings who went through this college process. My parents didn’t go to undergrad here [in the U.S.]. So I needed help with, you know, ‘what does this mean on the FAFSA?’ ‘what do I put here for the Common App?’”

Palo Alto High School senior Kimi Lillios studies for her November SAT, after the two previous test dates she had signed up for were canceled. Although Lillios has tried to take the SAT multiple times, she said she trusts colleges with test-optional policies will not disadvantage students who do not submit scores. “I think that the biggest impact going test-optional is going to have is that it’s just going to make the college admission process more unpredictable than it was before,” Lillios said. “I know that they [colleges] are also going to be under a lot of scrutiny ... so I’m hopeful that they’ll do their best to stay true to their word.” Photo: Sophia Krugler
