Sign Petition Today

Palisades Charter High School is discontinuing its Italian language program, along with French, following temporary enrollment declines caused by the devastating 2025 Palisades fires. Once incoming classes stop, upper levels disappear too. Historically, once a language program is cut, it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to rebuild. This is not just about one language. It is about preserving:

Language education

Global learning

Cultural literacy

Academic opportunity

WE STILL HAVE TIME TO ACT.

1. SIGN & SHARE THE PETITION
