As Paly students begin thinking about classes to take next year, Palo Alto Unified District and Palo Alto High School administrators alike gear up amidst uncertainty surrounding a possible in person return for next year. While PAUSD Superintendent Don Austin said that class signups are unlikely to happen in the next few weeks, Paly Principal Brent Kline stated in a message to The Paly Voice that “our course selection process will continue through February and is separate from the learning/teaching model and bell schedule that will be used in the fall.”

Dressed in elaborate Madrigal attire, senior Edie Gollub spent the past week preparing to play the role of Lady Jane in Palo Alto High School Choirs’ 18th annual Madrigal Feaste. Students prerecorded their videos individually and are looking forward to the premiere of the first ever virtual Madrigal Feaste at 7 p.m. Friday. “I’m really proud of both my fellow choir kids and our teachers alike,” Gollub said. “We’ve been able to go way beyond what I ever thought a choir could do virtually and put out some really amazing stuff.”

The Vikings won the game by a narrow two points after the Spartans’ buzzer beater three-point shot bounced off the rim. “My basketball career flashed before my eyes,” said Marzano. “I thought I would be done playing basketball if that shot went in, so my heart dropped.
