DearClass of 2023,

As the principal of San Clemente High School, I speak for our faculty and staff when I say how incredibly proud we are of all of you and your accomplishments.

Over the past four years, you have encountered numerous unexpected trials, but you refused to let them define or limit your high school experience. Instead, you adapted and changed course to ensure your continuous learning and pursuit of your dreams.

Finally, after three long years, we experienced a year like no other. We returned stronger and more committed than ever before. What an incredible year it has been, seniors!

You engaged with your classmates and teachers in classrooms, on the stage, in the pool, in the gym, and on the field. Our Drama program won countless awards and our athletics continued to win league titles and two Southern Section CIF Championships.

You contributed both at school and in the community, as leaders, volunteers, and employees. Because of your resilience and determination, you are finishing high school with all the pomp and circumstance you deserve.

You are a talented, vibrant, and generous group of individuals. The fortitude that you have gained as you persevered in the face of adversity will contribute to all of your future successes.

As you move on to your next chapter, remember that you have made friends and memories here that will last a lifetime. As fellow Tritons, we are behind you all of the way.

Congratulations, Class of 2023.
