EDITOR’S NOTE

Rocklin High School’s Senior Tribute is a special magazine that is meant to honor the undercovered seniors that are only shown few times in the yearbook.

We give these seniors a chance to tell their story here at Rocklin as they now move on to their next chapter in life, leaving traces of their presence with those of us who remain.

This year’s theme was TELL ME YOUR STORY, and we asked seniors to share with us the moments that they will never forget.

Without these seniors, Rocklin High School’s identity wouldn’t nearly be complete. We’d like to take this chance to say “thank you” to all intro and advanced media programs (Photojournalism, Publications, and Journalism) for working hard and creating this magazine.

Thank you seniors for letting us tell your story.

“Hey Cole!” said Cole Rabe’s Microeconomics teacher, Mr. Hardy. Cole took his hood off as he entered the classroom for what felt like the thousandth time. An hour and 25 minutes of sitting in Microeconomics was not Cole’s idea of fun at the moment. He dreamed of being somewhere under the sun where he would be having the time of his life.

Thirty minutes into class, all Cole could hear was, “Supply and demand blah, blah, and blah. The cost of production is… blah, blah, and blah.” Just as he was dozing off, his attention was quickly brought back to him. He felt a buzzing in his pocket, so he went to grab his phone, expecting to receive an Instagram or Snapchat notification.

it’s always been my dream to go to school in Socal and after visiting the campus I really just invisioned myself being there.
