Each year we have the opportunity to meet and take photos of the top academic students at Soquel High School. We consider it an honor to recognize these young men and women at this time of graduation from youth to adulthood. The biggest change for most is that of leaving behind familiar faces and finding new friends.
We wish these, and all those graduating to the next chapter of their lives the best and that we look forward to seeing what kind of a world they will be building for themselves and for us.
We especially appreciate the hard work of Ana Martinez, Counseling Secretary of Soquel High School, for her hard work in putting all this together each year. Thank you Ana.
