Junior Ajin Jeong prepares her notes in the library for her upcoming history final next week. This semester’s finals mark the first finals back at Palo Alto High School since the beginning of the pandemic, and many students are finding the last homestretch of the year to be difficult. Jeong says it helps her study when she can motivate herself through small rewards. “I like to give myself rewards like snacks from Trader Joe’s or spending time with my friends during study breaks,” Jeong said.

The new Finals Week Schedule is significantly different from previous years’, with shorter class periods, as well as short class periods in between the testing windows. The change is largely reflective of the Paly admin’s hope to improve student health during the pandemic. “This year has been like no other we have ever experienced in education,” Assistant Principal Michelle Steingart said. “We hope that not having back-to-back finals will help alleviate student stress.”
