![Athletic Director Jennifer Crane works in her office at Palo Alto High School, which she will be leaving after a decade of contributing to the athletic department. According to Crane, she is proud of her achievements and impact. “Looking back, I’m really proud of what we've accomplished together,” Crane said. “Walking around campus, I know I helped make improvements — whether it's new gear, upgraded facilities, or a stronger team culture — [and] that’s been really meaningful. Paly Athletics has accomplished a lot these past few years and I’m just grateful to have been a part of it. I truly feel like I’m leaving the Paly Athletics Department in a stronger, more unified place than when I stepped into the role.”](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/DSC_0008-1200x800.jpg)
