Families and students gathered in the student lounge on February 11 to celebrate two exceptional scholars from the Class of 2026, Hoeuli. The special recognition ceremony honored Miya Rubio as Valedictorian and Raylee Mateo as Salutatorian.
The title of Valedictorian is awarded to the student who achieves the highest academic standing in the graduating class.
