Palo Alto High School senior Iris Yuan works on one of her lettering pieces. She shares her work on Instagram, under the handle @irissletters, and recently gained 1,000 followers. I started my Instagram so I can hold myself accountable for my lettering and keep it up, because I’m also someone who drops a lot of hobbies, she said.

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.
