Jaya Jost: Valedictorian
Jaya Jost has been part of the Coronado Unified School District community since kindergarten. Throughout high school, she has been a student-athlete—running varsity cross country all four years, serving as team captain, and competing on the surf team. She also played varsity lacrosse during her first two years and joined the varsity track team in her junior year.
In addition to athletics, Jaya was president of the National Honor Society and started the school's Crochet Club to offer a creative and inclusive space for students. She also volunteered in homeless and refugee shelters in Tijuana to support communities beyond her own.
Art has been a steady part of Jaya’s life—she enjoys painting in her free time and has helped create murals around town with friends. Outside of school, she earned her EMT certification through a training program at Miramar College in order to gain experience in healthcare.
Over the past few summers, Jaya has worked at several local spots around Coronado, including MooTime and Parakeet Juicery. This summer, she’ll be working at High Tide.
In the fall, Jaya will attend UCLA to study chemical engineering. She is interested in advancing both healthcare and sustainability.
Dylan Nasori: Salutatorian
Dylan Nasori has been a part of the Coronado Unified School District community for seven years and is proud to call Coronado home. Throughout high school, Dylan immersed himself in academics, leadership, and service. He served as Executive Officer of his NJROTC unit, president of both the Mock Trial Club and the Science Olympiad team, and competed at the national level in both the JLAB and NAQT trivia competitions.
A passionate researcher, Dylan worked at the Lal Lab at UCSD on silica nanobowls for targeted drug delivery and later interned at the San Diego Center for AIDS Research, gaining experience in biomedical research and clinical support. He also volunteered 100+ hours in the Critical Care Unit at UCSD Health Hillcrest, worked at Chipotle part time for 1.5 years, and contributed to his school's Academic League team.
Outside of working, Dylan finds joy in watching bad sitcoms and drama TV shows, failing at the NYT crossword puzzle, and spending time with friends and family.
This fall, he will attend UC Berkeley as a Bioengineering major (GO BEARS!) hoping to one day develop cancer treatments. Dylan is deeply grateful for the mentors, experiences, and community that have shaped his journey.
