Eliot Arts Magnet, other displaced PUSD schools, remain without permanent home

Even more than one year after her Eliot Arts Magnet classroom was destroyed in the Eaton fire, Mary Herrera nearly daily goes through a mini-emotional rollercoaster.

She’ll remember a folder filled with letters that her students have written her in her 20 years of teaching. And then she realizes she left that at Eliot.

“Every day, you still notice new things that you have lost or didn’t know you had left at work,” Herrera said.

Her place of work for the last three years was consumed by the catastrophic blaze.
