👩‍🎓👨‍🎓 Denair High School seniors Sarmiento and Hart earn valedictorian and salutatorian status, respectively 👏

Emma Sarmiento and Brayden Hart didn’t give much thought to being the class valedictorian or salutatorian when they first entered Denair High School.

“Honestly, I never really thought about it until last year,” said Sarmiento, the Class of 2026 valedictorian. “It wasn’t until last year that I realized it was a possibility for me. And this year, it kind of got more real.”

Hart felt similarly.

“I went into ninth grade just wanting to pass my classes,” said Hart, this year’s salutatorian. “But at the end of freshman year, I knew I had the highest grade-point average. I was like, ‘I’m just going to keep going and keep getting A’s.”

Hart had the highest GPA among any member of the Class of 2026 until last semester, when Sarmiento overtook him. She has a 4.35 cumulative GPA, five-hundredths of a point higher than Hart, who owns a 4.30.

Sarmiento will attend UC Merced next year, and plans on majoring in human biology with the goal of someday becoming an ophthalmologist. Hart will attend Fresno State, where he plans to major in business, with designs on becoming a financial advisor.

🎉 Happy Friday, Coyotes! 🎉

🎉 It’s time for Friday Focus! 🎉
Today we celebrated the hardest-working crew in Denair with a yummy burger lunch donated by Cook’s Burgers! It was a small way to say a massive "thank you" to the team that pours their hearts into our students every single day. From the classroom to the cafeteria, our staff works tirelessly—and today, they got to fuel up with some of the best burgers in town. Shoutout to the DUSD team for your dedication, and shoutout to Cook’s for their generosity!

STOP. LOOK. LOCK. 🌡️🚗
A quick reminder for all parents and caregivers as temperatures rise:

• Never leave a child in a vehicle, even for a moment
• Always check the back seat before locking your car
• Set up a safety check with your childcare provider
• Use a reminder (bag, phone, note, or stuffed animal)
• Keep keys out of reach and vehicles off-limits for play

Over 50% of pediatric heatstroke deaths happen when a child is unintentionally left in a vehicle.

Let’s work together to keep our children safe. ❤️

This National Heatstroke Prevention Day, remind yourself that it's NEVER safe to leave your child alone in a car — not even for a minute. 🥵🌡️

Once You Park, Stop. 🛑 Look. 👁️ Lock. 🔒
