Senior of the Week
Solomon Park nominated by his counselor, Mrs. Hupman. "Solomon is a thoughtful and intellectually curious student who is genuinely committed to learning and understanding the world around him. He has a natural curiosity about how things work and often takes deep dives into topics to understand how something is designed, how it functions, or how it can be improved to work more efficiently. His desire to explore, question, and find solutions is one of his greatest strengths. Solomon is a joy to work with, and I am genuinely happy to have the opportunity to serve as his counselor again."
Scholar of the Week
Isaac Wong nominated by his French Teacher, Mrs. Daoudi. "It is my distinct pleasure to recommend Isaac Wong as the Scholar of the Week. Isaac has demonstrated exceptional academic dedication, exemplary character, and an outstanding work ethic across all of his endeavors. In French class, Isaac consistently stands out for his remarkable engagement and commitment to language acquisition. Beyond his performance in French, he exhibits the same high standard of academic rigor in all of his classes. Every assignment and project he submits consistently exceeds expectations in both depth and detail. In addition to his academic achievements, Isaac sets a stellar example for his peers through his personal conduct. He is extraordinarily attentive, courteous, and polite in every interaction with teachers and classmates alike."
Athlete of the Week
Bella Yu nominated by her golf coach, Mrs. Mendoza. "Bella Yu, a standout junior on the Rowland High School girls golf team, has been named Athlete of the Week after delivering a historic season on the green. As Rowland's first Girls Golf League MVP in years, Bella has cemented her status as one of the area’s most formidable competitors, leading her team by example every step of the way. Marking her second consecutive appearance in both the individual CIF and team CIF tournaments, her remarkable consistency, sharp focus, and dedicated work ethic continue to elevate the Raiders' golf program to new heights."
Art Student of the Week
Innovator of the Week
Dominic Arriaga nominated by Mr. Jacoy in the CTE program. "Dominic is our Innovator of the Week for showing initiative, independence, and a strong commitment to learning. He independently completed a presentation and exceeded expectations with well-designed slides, clear delivery, and thoughtful answers that supported his ideas. He consistently stays focused and engaged, demonstrating dedication to producing high-quality work."
