The Humanities building, one of the oldest buildings on campus, will be prepped for teardown beginning this summer. "There's so much wrong with my room, my AC doesn't work, there's ants that come in, when it rains it leaks, so I'm not really going to miss that," said Humanities teacher Ms. Malina, who also attended Hamilton as a student. "What I will miss are the memories that have consumed this room, but I guess you bring those memories with you."

Leonardo Fabian, a new AMPA junior, said that his transfer to Hamilton was unexpected and unbelievable. "I didn’t want to believe my school was burnt down, I didn’t want to move to another school, but I didn’t want to do online school. I had to transfer to Hamilton.” He says that so far, he is adjusting to Hamilton well, now that he has found his place in AMPA. “I really love it here and the classrooms, they’re chill," said Leonardo. "I like the teachers here since they’re like the ones at Pali.”
