class of 2026 senior spotlight valeria salazar. MY Favorite HS Memory the #1 Skill I'm Taking with Me Advice for Future Seniors my Plans after Graduation My number one skill I’m taking with me is improving my time management with my college classes and high school work, and learning how to stay on top of everything I need to get done. My favorite high school memory has to be going to the Tech Center. I’ve learned a lot over the past two years in my Patient Care and Sports Medicine classes. I’ve really enjoyed my Sports Medicine class this year and the friendships I’ve made with other girls from different schools. Don’t procrastinate or leave things last minute. Do your classwork, enjoy senior year, and make memories. Also remember to stay focused on yourself and not what others think. I plan to attend Indiana University Indianapolis for my bachelor’s in Exercise Science. After that, I want to get my master’s in Occupational Therapy. I’m interested in either pediatric or sports occupational therapy.

Join us tonight as we celebrate our Varsity Girls Soccer seniors for Senior Night! ⚽🎓

Seniors will be honored prior to the 5:00 PM game vs Bangor, as we recognize their dedication, leadership, and hard work!
