Jaylah Hartsfield, a senior at Palisades Charter High School, was feeling mixed emotions on Tuesday. On one hand, she was finally back on a campus — albeit a temporary one — with her classmates and teachers, something she said many of them have been ready for quite a while now.
No doubt about it, the opening on Tuesday was a milestone moment in the recovery from the catastrophic Palisades fire.
But though returning to in-person school was a joyful moment, Hartsfield was sad knowing she will end her senior year away from the original Pali High campus, which suffered major damage in the mammoth January blaze.
“This is my last year, so I’m kind of devastated that it burned down and I can’t see it,” she said.
Still, she embraced the benefits of the new location, right smack in the hustle and bustle of Santa Monica.
The new campus’ proximity to the ocean brought a smile to her face.
While she and her classmates could see the ocean from Pali High’s original hilltop campus, the new Santa Monica spot, dubbed Pali South, is less than two blocks from the water.
