A true full circle moment tonight. ✨ Almost 20 years ago, I sat in the audience as a graduating senior and recipient of the Santa Ana Unified Top 100 Awards. Tonight, I had the honor of hosting this special celebration and recognizing the next generation of student leaders, scholars, dreamers, and changemakers. One message shared with me as a young adult has stayed with me all these years — don’t forget where you come from, and always give back to your community. Tonight, I had the privilege of passing those same words on to our seniors as they prepare for their next chapter. I am incredibly proud of all of our graduating seniors and excited to see where the world takes them. Your roots matter, your story matters, and your community will always be cheering you on. 🎓 #SAUSD #Top100 #FullCircleMoment #RoadrunnerNation #SantaAnaUnified ClassOf2026
