Class of 2023 Graduation Special

Letting Our VOices sing Out

BY SCHOLAR OF SCHOLARS KENT LAU

GOOD EVENING, CLASS OF 2023, as well as administration, parents, teachers, and Trustee Parham.

This is it. Gathered here today is the last class of San Juan Hills High School who knew what this school was like before the pandemic.

And what an adventure the last four years have been. From winning CIF football to taking the AP Euro test online at home to getting roasted by the underclassmen at the Clash of the Classes, it has been a wild ride.

For the last four years, I have had the pleasure to sing with this talented group next to me in the choral program.

What I find so fascinating about vocal performance is that you are your instrument—each person’s voice has its own style and timbre. This extends into who we are as people: each of us from different backgrounds with our own strengths and shortcomings.

Yet, all of us come together, each with our own quirks, our own beliefs, our own unique voices, and form this rich tapestry of harmony—all of us together stronger than if we were one voice.

We bring to life the stories trapped in the sheet music through the union of our different experiences.

Class of 2023, we are the same. Throughout our four years here, we have grown: intel-

lectually, physically, emotionally, mentally. But just as important are the relationships that you all have built with each other here.

Whether it’s the (and I might be somewhat biased here but the) emotional release of our music programs, the storytelling of our

fantastic theater department, the overcoming of limits and failures of our athletic teams, or the educational instruction and immersive projects from countless other classes, each of you has contributed to this beautiful harmony here at San Juan Hills.

We Are the Class of Resilience

Whew—we made it, Class of 2023! It was a rough one, but we are the class of resilience.

Just starting our high school journey, we were sent home, and stripped away of two years that we will never get back. But we took those years as a beneficial opportunity.

I know many may have reservations about this because well … COVID was, of course, truly tragic. But for our Class of 2023, we rose from the—well, let’s face it— ashes of the pandemic with phoenix-like brilliance.

We all immediately said, “Well, this is awesome, we have a two-week break!” and fled to the beach and hung out with all of our friends—probably not the greatest things to say or do—but this was quickly prevented, and we were all pushed deep

into our rooms.

Yet still, our class succeeded.

Once COVID hit hard, Enzo Sarayba became deeply intrigued by the public health issue, and now interns at a local urgent care, planning to study and shadow pulmonary care.

Cruz Magee—yes, the inflatable gorilla you see running around—seized this time to create a successful company, End Result Cleaning Services. (Yes, Cruz, there’s your business promo.)

Taylor Zielenbach was inspired to serve through the crisis and modified her organization at CHOC hospital to accommodate scoliosis patients online through the pandemic.

I reiterate that these are only a few of the many resilient stories of our class.

Fellow members of the Class of Resilience, we were not born into a world where the only issue was a pandemic. Today and tomorrow,

we face and will continue to face the innumerable challenges of our dysmorphic world. But, if there was anyone to rise to the occasion, it is us

And … as a class, we already have through organizations like No Place for Hate and Stallion Start-Up. Here, students like Brandon Sotelo and Rosa Hernandez have worked to reduce divisiveness, and to increase inclusiveness, leveling the walls that separate us all.

I believe there is an abstract metaphor for our class—stay with me here—we were the saplings within the cracks of a boulder. We were hindered from the start, yet, we grew anyways. We grew despite the isolation and the malnourishment brought by the shadow-casting rock wall that surrounded us.

We grew further than that little crack should have allowed us, splitting that damning rock, and growing to be 300 feet tall.

Class, truly wherever we go, we will carry

As a choral performer, I have learned, “You perform, not to impress, but to inspire.” We go on stage not just for applause, but to emotionally resonate with people.

However, I think this applies to more than just art. Think back on your high school experience. Did you spend countless hours volunteering and studying for tests to show off that perfect, flawless, beautiful transcript covered in A’s to colleges?

If you did, well, that makes two of us. Hmm … Maybe I didn’t learn my lesson after all …

Where was I going with this…?

Oh, right. In all seriousness, fellow students, it has been an honor to learn and grow with you, but now is the time for our voices to sing out into new territories.

Students, right now, look around. You are very likely surrounded by those who have molded you during your time here: friends, families, teachers, fellow classmates.

As the curtains close on this stage of life, I urge you to remember those who have touched your life and to take their impact with you.

Class of 2023, go venture into your passions, your academic pursuits, your career pursuits, your life pursuits, not just for personal fulfillment but also to inspire change in others, making the world a better place.

with us the experience of breaking barriers and escaping restriction, for we are the ones who were dealt a rotten hand and came out with the jackpot.

Class of 2023, in the walk of life, we have many hills that loom ahead, but nothing can compare to the Everest we have already conquered.

cOngratuL atiOns tO the cL ass Of 2023

BY PRINCIPAL DR. MANOJ MAHINDRAKAR

GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE, Class of 2023, families, faculty, and staff. I’m honored to stand before you today as your principal and celebrate together this momentous occasion.

First and foremost, congratulations. Let that sink in. Congratulations. You have worked incredibly hard and overcome countless obstacles to reach this point. Whether you excelled academically, athletically, or artistically, you’ve all made us proud.

To those where the last four years maybe were a struggle, I’m proud of you, too. Every chapter in life may not be a fairy tale or go as planned, but what matters is that you made it. I hope the next chapter will be the opportunity for you to blossom and shine.

Also, congratulations to everyone here in attendance. I know an achievement like this is not earned alone. It’s been a family and community achievement.

Graduates, again, I’m so proud of all of you. You’ve made being the principal of San Juan Hills High School an absolute dream job. It’s been an honor to watch you all grow, learn, and ultimately succeed.

As you move on to the next chapter of your lives, I want to remind you that success is not just about what you achieve but also about the impact you have on those around you. I hope you’re not defined just by your grades and your wins and your awards. I know I’ll remember you for your character, your compassion, and the contributions you’ve made to those around you.

I do have some advice, and it’s simple. Be kind, be curious, be courageous, and be genuine. We’re living in a world with social

media—and now, teachers, AI—and that’s going to promote something that may not be genuine. Who knows if it’s real? It can be tempting to present a false image to the world, but I think true success will come from being authentic and genuine to who you are, and a lot of hard work.

The world is going to try to tell you who to be. We see it all the time. You turn on your phone, and there’s some version that you feel like you’re supposed to be, but only you can decide that—and those you trust and your family.

Embed yourself and anchor yourself in the values that you know guide you. We think technology might make some things easier, but I don’t think there will ever be a replacement or shortcut for true support or friendship and care that we must show each other. Those are the things that ultimately got you here.

Of course, I wouldn’t be a proper principal if I didn’t leave you with some homework, so here it is: In your mind, write down three things that you want to accomplish in the next three years, next five years. They can be big

or small, personal or professional, but they should be meaningful to you.

Here’s the thing: share it with someone you trust—a friend, a family member, a mentor, someone who’s just supported you along the way, to hold you accountable. There’s the key piece. You can’t do it alone. That’s one thing I’ve seen being a principal and working in education.

None of us can achieve goals on our own. We need each other, and we need support. We need encouragement, and we need to inspire each other. That’s what this is all about. It’s community.

As you go off into the world, remember that you’re not alone. You’re a part of something much bigger than yourself. You’re a part of a legacy of excellence, compassion, and resilience. We’re all here cheering you on, every step of the way.

Students, what you do next is up to you. I want you to see that success is a community experience, so look around. Really, look around. This is a lot of people, and they’re all here because they believe in you. They’ve been a part of this somewhere along the way.

We want you to succeed, because when you succeed, that means this whole community has succeeded.

Class of 2023, I know in my heart you’ll continue to make us proud, and I sincerely hope you make yourself proud as well. Take that next step knowing you are deserving, you’re capable, and ready to do extraordinary things.

Again, Class of 2023, congratulations and—as always—RFTB.

RFTB Is More than Just Four Letters

BY LINDSEY GATTIS

Dr. Mahindrakar, parents, faculty, and Class of 2023 seniors:

As we sit here today, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia and excitement. Nostalgia, because we are leaving behind four years of memories and experiences that we will cherish forever. Excitement, because we are about to embark on a new journey, one that will shape our future and define who we are as individuals.

The future graduating classes are going to have huge shoes to fill. I mean, the Class of 2023 had not one, not two, but three senior ditch days.

In all seriousness, I am proud to have been a part of a class that really made the most of their high school experience—a class that greatly contributed to the community that is held together by the phrase, “Ride for the Brand.”

Ever since we stepped foot on campus in 2019, Riding for the Brand has slowly gathered more and more meaning. At first, R-F-T-B was just the four letters that we would shout from the back of the student section as freshmen at our first Friday Night football games.

But four years later, we feel a deeper sense of belonging and Stallion pride every time we hear “Ride for the Brand.”

RFTB is what we felt in the theater, amazed at the talent in outstanding performances like Chicago. RFTB is what we felt while sitting in the freezing cold bleachers, cheering on our classmates in their winter sports seasons.

RFTB is what we felt at club rush as we gathered around each other’s passions. RFTB is what we felt at 11 p.m. on a Thursday night setting up our gym for a pep rally. And it’s also what we felt when the Class of 2023 took home this year’s Clash of the Classes trophy.

I never thought I would feel this connected with a school community as I have these past years. We formed a community through all of our different interests and talents, and we always rooted for each other.

The Stallion staff has gone above and beyond in getting us to where we are sitting today. Teachers like Mrs. Gonzalez made an effort to form a personal connection with each and every one of their students.

Supervisors like Ms. Kim, who whipped around in her golf cart with the biggest smile, spread a bit of joy on campus every day. You might have been sitting at lunch one Friday, minding your own business, and out

of nowhere, Dr. Mahindrakar told you a bad principal joke, and in just a matter of seconds, you were famous on his Instagram account. It was little moments like these that really made our high school experience unique— something that you could only understand if you RFTB.

During my time here at San Juan Hills, I have learned a vital life lesson. Whatever you put into something is what you get out of it. The more you invest, the more you get back.

As students on this campus, we have been blessed with a multitude of opportunities to grow—not only academically, but as individ-

uals. The Class of 2023 has not only taken advantage of these opportunities, but has turned each experience into an unforgettable memory.

As much as I am going to miss this school and the community that comes with it, I am so excited to see what the future holds for each and every one of us.

I encourage us all to make the most of the rest of our lives, just like we have made the most of this memorable journey at San Juan Hills High School.

Congratulations, Class of 2023! We did it!
