Palisades high school reopens 1 year after devastating LA fires

Palisades Charter High School officially welcomes students back to a rebuilt campus, marking a major return to on-site learning after wildfire displacement.
A temporary 36-bungalow classroom setup on the baseball field helped students resume learning while permanent facilities are rebuilt for 2028.
Principal Dr. Pam Magee commends the community's resilience, emphasizing a collective comeback as students return to Palisades.
Reconstruction continues on the campus with roughly 40% of the main buildings still affected, even as in-person classes resume.
The Santa Monica site formerly known as 'Pali South' served as a visible interim campus as permanent facilities are rebuilt.
Grand reopening events and street gatherings reflected renewed community pride as families and students welcomed the campus comeback.
A new permanent concrete classroom building is planned to open in 2028, completing the restoration and replacing damaged facilities.
Magee expresses gratitude to families, staff, students, and volunteers whose efforts made the comeback possible amid ongoing reconstruction.
The reopening emphasizes a move toward normalcy, even as athletics facilities remain under repair and will be part of the broader recovery plan.
The return is framed as a community-centered milestone, underscoring Palisades as a local anchor after the disaster.
