Meet our Students
Holly Harrison, Cupertino High School, Class of 2026
Holly will be attending Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, majoring in Economics
"Don’t throw away your passions and interests just because you don’t consider them an important part of your future. When we live life trying to optimize each action that we take based on how relevant it is to future success, we’re left with a life that is difficult to call our own. Art is a key part of my identity and that fact will remain true no matter where life takes me. Expressing creativity doesn’t need to produce a tangible, grand outcome to be worth it. Sometimes, the act of creation itself is the reward."
Rotem Ben David, Fremont High School, Class of 2026
Rotem will be attending Foothill Community College, majoring in Cognitive Science
"What made my high school years special was getting to explore my different interests while still feeling part of one community. Through leadership, STEAM, photography, advocacy, and athletics, I was able to keep trying new things, grow from each experience, challenge myself in different ways, and contribute to Fremont in ways that felt meaningful to me. Take advantage of the opportunities around you. Fremont has so many classes, clubs, programs, and communities where you can explore your interests, but you have to be willing to look, ask questions, and put yourself out there. Sometimes the best opportunities are the ones you help create."
Santiago Cárdenas, Homestead High School, Class of 2026
Santiago will be attending San José State University, majoring in Aviation and Professional Flight
"One piece of advice is don’t be afraid to get out of your comfort zone. Try new activities like joining leadership, clubs and participate in school events. That is when you will find your strengths and passions. What made my high school years special is the welcoming and safe environment I received at Homestead. I really appreciated the support I got from my friends. Especially the friends I made through my English Learning Development (ELD) classes and the ELD teachers, who were passionate to teach me both English and other subject matters. I built lasting relationships and built my confidence thanks to the school community that helped me thrive."
Sophia Prion, Educational Options, Class of 2026
Sophia will be attending Colorado State University, majoring in Equine Science
"What made my high school years special was making it through the ups and downs. Learning from every mistake and every correction. I struggled so much my first year, I wasn’t sure at all how I was going to get by. But all the ups and downs I went through shaped me into the person I am today. Find true/honest friends, people with whom you can be yourself, not people who you have to put on a fake face. Try your hardest. Always ask for help, even when you think it is a dumb question. Be grateful for the little things, because those are big."
Abhishek Biswas, Lynbrook High School, Class of 2026
Abhishek will be attending Purdue University, majoring in Mechanical Engineering
"What immediately struck me about Lynbrook was the commitment to help us explore a diverse variety of experiences. Some of my closest memories come from the Physics Labs and Socratic Seminars which transformed everyday classroom experiences into inspiring, interactive explorations. I am deeply grateful to all of Lynbrook’s empathetic staff, who over the past four years have shown me that excellence and collaboration go hand in hand."
Advaith Anand, Monta Vista High School, Class of 2026
Advaith will be attending the University of California, Berkeley, majoring in Electrical Engineering & Computer Sciences and Business Administration
"The community I found at Monta Vista made my experience throughout these four years so memorable. Bonding over the difficulties of high school brought us closer together, and that is something that I will deeply cherish. My advice to underclassmen is to always take opportunities that come your way, keep an open mind, and explore various fields and subjects, because the version of yourself you become through those experiences is oftentimes not one you could have ever planned for."
