Adelanto High School celebrated its 12th graduating class on Wednesday night at Julian Weaver Stadium, sending off 503 graduates who collectively set a new standard of excellence for the school.

Adelanto continues to surpass the county average by maintaining graduation rates that lead the area, driven by a student body with rapidly climbing A-G completion rates. With unprecedented levels of college readiness, this year’s grads secured the most college acceptances in school history.

The Saints also maintained the region’s highest CTE completion rate, with multiple graduates earning industry licenses and entering professional trade unions straight out of high school. Several others are enlisting in the United States Armed Forces.

Leading the class were Valedictorian Betsy Mejia, who earned a full-ride to UC Berkeley, and Salutatorian Oscar Herrera, who is headed to UCLA to study mathematics with the aim of becoming a teacher. Betsy’s achievement follows her sister, Class of 2020 Salutatorian Abigail Mejia, who went on to graduate from Harvard. Another notable grad is QuestBridge scholar Alana Chavez, who earned a full ride to Pomona College, one of the prestigious Claremont Colleges.

“Graduates, remember you don't need an invitation to lead,” Principal Ebony Purcell said in her speech. “Don't wait for a seat at the table; you have everything you need to build your own, define your success, and live a life without limits. As you step into this fast changing world, what will determine your path are the choices you make and the risks you take. Take those risks thoughtfully, move with intention, and leave the world better than you found it.”

Congratulations to the Class of 2026!

Lakeview Leadership Academy celebrated its 6th commencement ceremony at High Desert Church’s Powell Auditorium on Friday night.

All of the Spartans’ 38 seniors graduated this year, and 32 have attended Lakeview since their 7th grade year. The grade 7-12 school started as a middle school before expanding to include high school grades.

Principal Felicia Limbrick noted in her speech that 22 of these grads are A-G college ready, 15 earned the Golden State Seal of Merit, and 85 percent will be attending colleges and universities (including UCLA) or the military (Issac Gurule has already committed to the Marine Corps).

This year’s Valedictorian is Edie Al Hasna, and the Salutatorian is Julia Quintana. Another notable grad is Tyler Jarvis, who completed two career technical education pathways, earned industry recognized certifications in web animation and ethics in the workplace, and was named the MDCP Student of the Year in addition to winning the inaugural Unity T-Shirt Design contest.

Congratulations to the Class of 2026!

The area’s first high school is still going strong, as Victor Valley High School celebrated its 110th graduating class in front of a capacity crowd at Ray Moore Stadium on Thursday night.

The Jackrabbits had much to cheer about this year, including the first boys basketball CIF championship in the school’s history (and the first in the High Desert in 73 years).

This class of more than 450 students also includes standouts in the classroom, with Valedictorian Valeria Medina posting a 4.58 GPA and co-Salutatorians David Mendoza, Karen Camarena, Arlene Rojo Rojas each achieving a 4.52 GPA.

Other notable grads include Xavier Hudson, who was awarded a prestigious $200,000 Marine Corps NROTC scholarship, recognizing his academic achievements and well-rounded involvement on campus; Nikolas Blocker, who earned a full ride scholarship to play Division I football at UC Davis; and Terion Mathis, who received a full ride to play Division I football at Weber State. Blocker and Mathis were part of a Jackrabbits football team that reclaimed the Bell in their historic rivalry with Apple Valley for the first time in the past 12 tries.

“Success is not defined only by the career you choose, the degree you earn, or the money you make,” Principal Victor Garnica told the class during his speech. “True success is defined by the impact you have on other people, so be kind, work hard, stay humble, take care of others, stand up for what is right and never forget where you came from.”

Congratulations to the VVHS Class of 2026!

Silverado High School celebrated 455 graduates in front of a packed Hawk Stadium on Wednesday night, marking the 28th commencement ceremony in its 32-year history.

In her speech, Principal Heather Conkle noted some of the unusual attributes of the class of 2026, including an incredible seven sets of twins and eight students whose parents graduated from the same school a generation ago.

This class also boasts a winner of the prestigious Gates Scholarship: co-Salutatorian Cherrish Johnson, who plans to attend Howard University.

The other co-Salutatorian is Michelle Duran, and this year’s Valedictorian is Kamori Armstrong, who plans to attend Villanova University.

Nearly 60 percent of this year’s grads are A-G college ready, a record for the school. The Hawks have one of the highest A-G percentages in the High Desert.

Before the names were called and the fireworks lit up the night sky, Conkle put the students’ accomplishment in perspective with a number: 720.

“That’s how many school days it took to get here,” Conkle told the graduates. “It was 720 mornings you showed up, 720 afternoons you pushed through, 720 days where you stacked small wins on top of one another until they became a big win. … What makes tonight special is not perfection. It’s persistence.”

Congrats to the Class of 2026!

University Preparatory School capped another year of awards and accomplishments as 177 Jaguars graduated in front of a crowd of well-wishers at Silverado High School’s Hawk Stadium on Tuesday night.

UP continued its excellence this year with its third California Distinguished School award, adding to a long list of accolades including two National Blue Ribbon awards and multiple top regional rankings in the U.S. News & World Report Best High Schools list.

This year’s group of grads includes three students bound for Yale University (Rawan Gamal, Kyla McFarlin, and co-Valedictorian Amber Randolph) as well as many other students headed to prestigious colleges and Universities.

Teodoro Reyes was this year’s co-Valedictorian with Randolph.

UP is a grade 7-12 school of choice in the Victor Valley Union High School District with a strong academic focus. Many students from this year’s class started middle school at UP during the pandemic.

“Our first year here wasn’t actually here,” Salutatorian Sneha Rajkumar said during her speech. “We started barely knowing each other’s name in our Zoom breakout rooms, and here we are crossing the stage together as graduates.”

Congrats to the University Prep Class of 2026!

Cobalt Institute of Math and Science celebrated its 10th graduating class in its 13th year of existence, awarding 135 graduates with their diplomas at High Desert Church in Victorville on Monday night.

As the grads depart high school, they have achieved an unprecedented level of college readiness for the school. Over 98 percent of Cougars grads have completed A-G coursework, qualifying them for CSU or UC acceptance. That number is up 4 percent from last year and is a record for CIMS.

As Principal Dr. Clarissa McNally addressed the graduates, she reminded them to thank their friends and family, the staff at CIMS, and especially their parents.

“This victory belongs to the graduates,” Dr. McNally said, “but also to the parents and guardians.”

CIMS was created by the Victor Valley Union High School District in 2013 as a STEM-focused school of choice, serving grades 7-12. The school has earned several awards including being named a California Distinguished School in 2021 and a Project Lead the Way Distinguished School multiple times.

Among the graduates were Valedictorian Hailey Worby and Salutatorian Sofia Chavez.

Congrats to the CIMS Class of 2026!
