Canyon High School’s Grit Pays Off at Graduation

Canyon High’s Grit Pays off at Graduation

By Trevor Morgan Signal Staff Writer

Stories of perseverance, triumph through tragedy, and sheer hard work made up many of the experiences students shared during Canyon High School’s graduation ceremony on June 2.

Like many graduation ceremonies, students shared thankful messages to their friends, families, and teachers before the ceremony began.

But during her welcome address, Principal Shellie Holcombe said her speech was “Gonna be a little different than in years past.”

“Recently, I had the privilege of meeting with some of our senior students who shared inspiring messages about their unique high school experiences,” said Holcombe. “So tonight I want to share their important heartfelt words.”

Some of these heartfelt words were written by Derek Barrios, who said that earning his diploma had a much larger meaning to him.

“This diploma represents an education system that ensures all young people here in Santa Clarita, regardless of privilege, have access to a first-rate education and exposure to the diverse beliefs and traditions that drive an ever-more complex world
