Rowland High School
Sept 29 -Oct 4
Senior of the Week
Fredy Bolainez was nominated by his counselor Mr. Roach. "I'm extremely proud of Fredy and all that he has accomplished over the past few years. He is a member of our AVID program and has worked extremely hard to succeed in his A-G courses. Even when faced with challenges, Fredy always pushes through and rises to the occasion. I'm honored to be his counselor and excited to see where his future takes him. Congrats, Fredy!"
Scholar of the Week
Lilin Huang was nominated by the math department. "We want to recognize Lilin for her efforts in geometry class. She finishes her work before her peers and then offers to help them with their independent work. She would always ask for any challenge questions after the lesson, or she would start on her math SAT prep. She maximizes her time in class, not wasting any minute to learn and practice math!"
Arts Person of the Week
Briseis (Valentino) Olguin. Valentino was nominated by their Art Teacher, Miss. Smith. "Valentino Olguin had several amazing pieces in last year’s art show and is now shining in AP 2D Art. Their big question this year is: “How has having a complex relationship with my gender affected how people view me?” Valentino’s art is brave, personal, and full of heart. I’m so proud of the artist they’re becoming, and I can’t wait for everyone to see their work in the art show on March 25th!"
Athlete of the Week
Mr. Marinez, the head football coach, nominated Jaden Amador for Athlete of the Week. "He is an excellent student and teammate. He is also involved in our JAR Program and is a Track & Field Athlete too".
Innovator of the Week
Anna Lin is being recognized with the Innovator's Award in our CTE Parenting & Family Life class by Mrs. Taylor. "She has consistently demonstrated exceptional attention to detail with her work in my class, like creating beautiful artwork that enhances our classroom projects. Her dedication, creativity, and success in class (earning the ONLY 100% 6 weeks in!) make her a standout student and a true CONTRIBUTOR as a ROWLAND Raider! Congratulations, Anna, on this well-deserved recognition!"
