Raise Pali

Earlier this year, Pali High suffered devastating damage and losses in the Palisades Fire. The fire tore through the school, leaving classrooms destroyed and students without essential spaces for learning. Students and faculty returned to online classes, where they all spent 1.5 years during the pandemic.

Over 500 students and 11 staff members lost their homes. In addition to those in the immediate fire zone, students travel to Pali High from 100+ ZIP codes across Los Angeles. Over 30% qualify for free and reduced lunch. All lost in-person access to their campus, friends, teachers, extracurricular activities, and their daily sense of normalcy.

On April 22, 2,400+ students and our staff celebrated our move to a temporary facility in Santa Monica that was built out and outfitted in record time. There is so much to be grateful for, but there's still a long road ahead. In addition to rent and construction costs, there are moving, technology set-up, security, sports field rental, and myriad other expenses associated with the relocation and eventual return to our campus. We know that the costs will exceed designated insurance coverage and other available funding.

Your tax-deductible donation to our Raise Pali campaign directly supports our relocation and rebuild efforts. With your help, we know that Pali High and our community will rise again. Please spread the word and thank you so, so much.
