Palo Alto High School (Paly)

For the 2023-24 school year, PiE will provide Paly with $975,439, because of generous donations from parents and community members. Funds are allocated to key programs and staff to support all Paly students, including:

  • PiE dollars fund a grade-level counselor, which makes it possible for one counselor to follow your student throughout their four years, and additional guidance support staff
  • PiE funds support the College and Career Center providing College Advisors who help students with college counseling and learning about post-graduation pathways
  • PiE dollars are spent on enhancing electives for students, including Theatre, Science classes, and an accompanist for Choir
  • PiE dollars help support the Teacher Advisor program, reducing the number of students seen by each teacher. Teacher Advisors help with course selection, college advice and write college recommendation letters
  • Paly’s Wellness and Support initiatives are funded by PiE including licensed counselors and the Wellness Outreach program

Your 2023-24 PiE Representatives are Elizabeth Olson, Kristina Vetter, Husna Hashmi, Weiping He, Miranda Junowicz, Linor Levav, Lily Lin, Evelyn Zhan, and Leena Sansguiri. Questions about PiE? Please email them at paly@papie.org.

“PiE’s funding allows us to provide increased levels of academic and social/emotional support to all students. PiE dollars fund grade-level counselors, support the College and Career Center, enhance electives for students, and support the Teacher Advisor and Wellness programs. PiE’s funding allows students to benefit by having more enriching programs that foster their creativity, knowledge, and overall growth into young adults. Without PiE we would struggle to provide these opportunities for our students. All of us at Paly are grateful for the continued generosity of our PiE donors as we continue to work at providing a well-rounded educational experience for all our students at Paly.”
