Palo Alto High School principal Kim Diorio announced her intent to resign at the end of the 2017-2018 school year in a message to staff, students and parents this morning. Assistant principal Adam Paulson said he is saddened by the news and that finding a replacement will be a monumental challenge. “[managing] A school like Paly requires that you have the whole package so that’s going to be difficult to find [in a new principal],” Paulson said.
