LA TimesPalisades High is looking for a temporary home after severe fire damage Palisades High School rests across the street from homes destroyed in the Palisades fire in Pacific Palisades on Jan. 8, 2025. The leaders of fire-damaged Palisades High School are looking for a temporary place to hold classes for about 3,000 students. “Our primary goal is to keep our community united during this challenging time, enabling students to continue their education alongside their friends, teachers, and peers,” the school’s release states. “In-person learning is crucial for their emotional and social development; without it, students may experience increased feelings of isolation and anxiety, further complicating their recovery from the trauma of recent events.” The spring semester was supposed to begin Monday.
