PACIFIC PALISADES, CA - Palisades Charter High School students have a new, albeit unusual, place to call their school. After a devastating wildfire destroyed much of their campus in January, the school was forced to hold classes online. However, this week marked a return to in-person learning, thanks to a creative solution: a retrofitted Sears department store.
The former retail space has been transformed into classrooms, administrative offices, and common areas. While the setting may be unconventional, students and staff are enthusiastic about being back together. The temporary campus allows for a sense of normalcy and community to return after months of disruption.
School officials are working diligently to rebuild the permanent campus. In the meantime, the Sears location provides a functional and safe learning environment. The project demonstrates the community's commitment to education and its ability to adapt in challenging circumstances. The school plans to remain at the Sears location for at least two years while the rebuilding process continues.
