“Senior week was one of the most fun weeks in my high school experience. Dressing with my bestest friends, taking photos and making memories was a great way to end my last year of high school,” senior Jessica Valencia said.
“It was super enjoyable creating a lovely day between the teachers and the students with all the different costumes,” senior John Cutter said.
“I felt like the whole day was very lively and everyone showed a lot of spirit. Our group costume, the disco cowboys, we felt happy that others could connect that we were all in a group together even if we weren’t at the same place at the same time. It gave us an identity,” senior Vansh Patel said.

“Senior week was an amazing experience for my friends and I,” class of 2024 President Brandon Noguera said. “It was the most relaxed I've ever felt in school because not only was the workload light, but wholesome feelings flooded the school as I saw a majority of seniors celebrating. In regards to Costume Day, school was hilarious and showed the passion of many students for the occasion. Alex Tiwari and I were inspired by our ready materials from Halloween. We took so many pictures with so many people and overall enjoyed our time. The party at the end of the day was also great because we got everybody with costumes together.”
