Senior Felix Blanch looks at the Wall of Redirection after school on the side of the Haymarket Theatre. Following a compromise between Palo Alto High School administration and the Associated Student Body, the formerly named the Wall of Rejection was rebranded to endorse positivity and to encourage opportunities that can arise from rejection, according to Principal Brent Kline. According to ASB senior class president Ashley Hung, no matter the name, the wall is meant to embrace rejection and endure it together. “We’re probably all going to be rejected by colleges, and the wall serves as a message that rejection is normal and human,” Hung said. “It brings our class together through shared experiences and helps create a culture that although what we’re going through can be difficult in the moment, we’re all in this together.” (Photo: Leena Hussein)

Director of Human Resources Lisa Hickey (left), Deputy Superintendent Karen Hendricks, and Associate Superintendent Sharon Ofek speak with students at the Needs Assessment meeting on Tuesday in the Media Arts Center. Students brought up what they wanted in a new Paly principal, including one-on-one connection between students and administration, and improving student wellness. Hendricks said the Needs Assessment meetings are instrumental to gain community insight on the principal search. “This gathering of thinking is an extremely important part of the recruiting and hiring process,” Hendricks said.

A Paly senior examines one of Golden-Globe winning Paly alumnus James Franco’s paintings displayed in the Media Arts Center. Palo Alto Unified School District Interim Supt. Karen Hendricks announced earlier today that administrators will remove Franco’s paintings from the MAC, just days after hiring workers to paint over his mural on the Student Center. “Related to this [the removal of Franco’s first mural in 2016], district staff recently considered the best interests of our students in the light of our educational mission, and decided to remove and return the remaining artwork,” Hendricks wrote.
