About my connection to Palo Alto
Hello! My name is Hana and I am currently a junior at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Washington majoring in Sociology/Anthropology. I was born in Mountain View, California and moved to Palo Alto with my family in 2003. I first attended Walter Hayes Elementary School from Kindergarten to the first semester of 2nd grade and then transferred to Ohlone Elementary School for the second semester of 2nd grade to 5th grade. I then attended Jordan (now Greene) Middle School, and finally Paly (Palo Alto High School), which I graduated from in 2018.
My family is very connected to PAUSD. My father and aunts are also PAUSD graduates and all graduated from Gunn High School class of 79, and class of '75,74, and 72. My mother was an avid volunteer and spectra art teacher at Ohlone Elementary School and now teaches her own private art lessons for PAUSD students. Lastly, my younger sister also attended Ohlone, Jordan, and is set to graduate from Paly this year class of 2021!
