From Chico High School, Addison Hosier and Jenny Gonzalez-Ruiz were also celebrated. Their Academic Counselor, Molly Kodad, and Targeted Case Manager, Nancy Rodriguez-Medina, were present to support them during the recognition ceremony.

During the event, each student shared insights into their current activities and future aspirations. Their impressive presentations highlighted not only their academic achievements but also their commitment to personal growth and community involvement.
