  174. 24:42[cheering]
  175. 24:51>> Good evening, Heritage High School. To
  176. 24:53our distinguished guests, families,
  177. 24:56friends, staff, and of course, not to
  178. 24:59forget the graduating class of 2026.
  179. 25:06Welcome to your celebration.
  180. 25:09Tonight we are not we are honored to be
  181. 25:10joined by members of the Paris Union
  182. 25:12High School District Board of Trustees.
  183. 25:14Mr. Edward Garcia Jr., President,
  184. 25:19Mr. Anthony T. Stafford, senior clerk.
  185. 25:24Mr. Charles Hall, member
  186. 25:28from the Paris Union High School
  187. 25:29District Cabinet, Chief Human Resources
  188. 25:32Officer, Mr. Alfredo Andrade.
  189. 25:37Seniors,
  190. 25:39tonight marks the end of one chapter,
  191. 25:41but it's the beginning of another. As
  192. 25:44you prepare to cross this stage, I want
  193. 25:46to take a moment to reflect on your
  194. 25:48legacy.
  195. 25:50Your legacy was built over the last four
  196. 25:52years through your hard work, your
  197. 25:55perseverance, your leadership, the
  198. 25:57relationships you formed along the way.
  199. 26:00You helped shape the the culture of this
  200. 26:02school through your accomplishments,
  201. 26:04your school pride, and the way you
  202. 26:06supported one another. Some of your
  203. 26:09legacy can be measured in awards,
  204. 26:11championships, performances,
  205. 26:13scholarships, and achievements. But some
  206. 26:16of the most meaningful parts of your
  207. 26:17legacy were built in quieter moments.
  208. 26:22When you encouraged a friend, when you
  209. 26:24overcame challenges,
  210. 26:26when you showed resilience,
  211. 26:28and when you chose to lead by example,
  212. 26:31the class of 2026 will be remembered not
  213. 26:35only for what you accomplished, but how
  214. 26:37you accomplished it.
  215. 26:40For the positive impact you had on this
  216. 26:41campus and for those around you. The
  217. 26:44students who follow you will benefit
  218. 26:46from the example you set and the
  219. 26:48traditions you helped create.
  220. 26:51But your legacy does not end here. As
  221. 26:54you move forward to college, career,
  222. 26:57military, trade school, or any other new
  223. 27:01opportunity, remember that the legacy
  224. 27:03you leave behind is only part of your
  225. 27:06story. The legacy you build from this
  226. 27:08day forward will be defined by your
  227. 27:10character, by your contributions, and by
  228. 27:13the lives that you impact along the way.
  229. 27:16Carry the lessons, the friendships, and
  230. 27:19the memories of heritage with you.
  231. 27:21Continue to lead with integrity.
  232. 27:24Face challenges with courage and make a
  233. 27:27positive difference wherever your
  234. 27:29journey takes you. On behalf of Heritage
  235. 27:31High School, thank you for the mark that
  236. 27:33you have left on this campus. It has
  237. 27:35been an honor to watch you grow into the
  238. 27:37individuals that you are today.
  239. 27:40Congratulations, class of 2026.
  240. 27:50At this time, it is my pleasure to
  241. 27:52introduce Paris Uni High School District
  242. 27:54Board President, Mr. Edward Garcia Jr.,
  243. 27:56who will deliver remarks on behalf of
  244. 27:57the board of trustees.
  245. 28:07Good evening graduates, families,
  246. 28:10teachers, staff members, excuse me,
  247. 28:14staff members of the board of education
  248. 28:16and distinguished guests. Tonight we
  249. 28:19gather to celebrate an extraordinary
  250. 28:20achievement, the graduation of class
  251. 28:232026.
  252. 28:25Graduates, today is more than the end of
  253. 28:27a chapter. is a culmination of thousands
  254. 28:29of choices, countless sacrifices, and
  255. 28:32years of perseverance that have brought
  256. 28:34you to this moment.
  257. 28:36When people think about success, they
  258. 28:38often think about the big moment, the
  259. 28:40diploma, the awards, the celebrations.
  260. 28:44But the truth is that success is really
  261. 28:46built on a single moment. Success is
  262. 28:49built through small decisions made day
  263. 28:51after day. The decision to get out of
  264. 28:53bed when you're tired. The decision to
  265. 28:55come to school when it could have been
  266. 28:57easier not to. The decision to complete
  267. 28:59an assignment, study for an exam, ask
  268. 29:02for help, or keep going when things
  269. 29:04become difficult. Every day you made
  270. 29:06choices, and those choices led you here.
  271. 29:10As you sit here tonight surrounded by
  272. 29:12the people who love and support you,
  273. 29:14remember that this achievement did not
  274. 29:15happen by accident. It happened because
  275. 29:17you continued moving forward one choice
  276. 29:20at a time. Tomorrow, however, something
  277. 29:24changes. Tomorrow, many of you will wake
  278. 29:26up and realize that life looks
  279. 29:28different.
  280. 29:29There may be no first period bell, no
  281. 29:32attendance taken, no teacher reminding
  282. 29:34you of a deadline. For the first time,
  283. 29:36many of you will have more freedom than
  284. 29:38ever before, but freedom comes with
  285. 29:41responsibility. Tomorrow, you will face
  286. 29:43the same question you face today. What
  287. 29:46choice will you make? You will allow
  288. 29:48circumstances to define you or will you
  289. 29:51choose to define your future? Because
  290. 29:53the world does not need more people who
  291. 29:54wait for opportunities. The world needs
  292. 29:57more people who create them. The world
  293. 29:59needs leaders, problem solvers,
  294. 30:02innovators, servants,
  295. 30:05people willing to stand up when
  296. 30:06challenges arise and keep moving forward
  297. 30:08when others choose to quit. That's what
  298. 30:10champions do. And make no mistake, you
  299. 30:14all are champions.
  300. 30:16Not because life has been easy but
  301. 30:18because you have overcome obstacles. You
  302. 30:20have faced start uh setbacks.
  303. 30:24You have experienced disappointment,
  304. 30:26uncertainty and adversary. Yet you still
  305. 30:29are here. Champions are not defined by
  306. 30:31the absence of struggle. They are
  307. 30:34defined by the response to it. Champions
  308. 30:36persevere when things become difficult.
  309. 30:39Champions learn from failure rather than
  310. 30:41being defeated by it. Champions continue
  311. 30:44moving forward when the path ahead is
  312. 30:45unclear. And champions never stop
  313. 30:47believing in what is possible. Because
  314. 30:49of the education you have received here
  315. 30:51in the Paris Union High School District,
  316. 30:53we you have been prepared for what comes
  317. 30:55next. You have gained knowledge. You
  318. 30:57have developed skills. You have built
  319. 30:59resilience. Most importantly, you have
  320. 31:02learned that you are capable of
  321. 31:03achieving more than you once imagined.
  322. 31:06Whether your next step is going to
  323. 31:07college, military service, trade school,
  324. 31:11public service, entrepreneurship, or
  325. 31:14entering the workforce, know this. Your
  326. 31:17future is not determined by where you
  327. 31:19begin. It is determined by the choices
  328. 31:21you continue to make. So I say this,
  329. 31:24choose growth, choose courage, choose
  330. 31:28integrity, choose hard work, choose
  331. 31:30kindness, choose to keep learning,
  332. 31:33choose to keep believing in yourself. As
  333. 31:35you move through life, you will discover
  334. 31:37that people will depend on you. Your
  335. 31:38family will depend on you. Your friends
  336. 31:40will depend on you. Your co-workers will
  337. 31:42depend on you. Your community will
  338. 31:44depend on you. And one day, someone will
  339. 31:46look to you for strength, guidance, and
  340. 31:48hope. When that moment comes, be the
  341. 31:50champion they need. Graduates, you are
  342. 31:53stronger than you know. You are more
  343. 31:55capable than you realize. You are
  344. 31:57prepared for more than you can imagine.
  345. 32:00And tonight, as you walk across this
  346. 32:01stage, understand that we celebrate far
  347. 32:04more than a diploma. We celebrate your
  348. 32:06perseverance. We celebrate your
  349. 32:08determination. We celebrate every
  350. 32:10obstacle you overcame to reach this day.
  351. 32:13We celebrate the countless choices that
  352. 32:15brought you to this moment. Most
  353. 32:17importantly, we celebrate you,
  354. 32:21the class of 2026. A class that have has
  355. 32:24left its mark in history and will
  356. 32:25forever be a part of the legacy of this
  357. 32:28district. I would like to leave you with
  358. 32:30the verse that reminds us each of your
  359. 32:31lives has purpose and promise. Jeremiah
  360. 32:3529:11, "For I know the plans I have for
  361. 32:38you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper
  362. 32:40you and not to harm you. Plans to give
  363. 32:42you hope and a future." Class of 2026,
  364. 32:46continue to be champions, continue to
  365. 32:48dream, continue to lead, continue to
  366. 32:52serve, continue to make a difference,
  367. 32:54and never forget that greatness is built
  368. 32:57one choice at a time. Congratulations
  369. 32:59graduates. May God bless bless you each
  370. 33:02and every one of you. And
  371. 33:03congratulations to the class of 2026.
  372. 33:07[cheering]
  373. 33:08[applause]
  374. 33:16Please welcome your 2026 Saludiatoran,
  375. 33:18Eileen Osio.
  376. 33:21[cheering]
  377. 33:28Okay, good evening faculty, staff,
  378. 33:31friends, family, and most importantly,
  379. 33:33the graduating class of 2026. Sometimes
  380. 33:36in life we get so caught up like we were
  381. 33:39stuck on a puzzle that oops that we
  382. 33:43forget to actually live while putting
  383. 33:45the pieces together. In my case, I spent
  384. 33:48most of my life trying to solve one
  385. 33:49puzzle being the best of my class only
  386. 33:53to realize I forgot to enjoy the picture
  387. 33:55I was creating.
  388. 33:57We get so focused on controlling every
  389. 33:59piece, every outcome, every goal that we
  390. 34:02forget to actually live while we're
  391. 34:04putting it together. We stress over
  392. 34:07things we can't change, let our past
  393. 34:09define us, and convince ourselves that
  394. 34:11one accomplishment will make us feel
  395. 34:13complete. For me, that accomplishment
  396. 34:16was standing here today. I thought being
  397. 34:20one of the highest ranking students in
  398. 34:21my class would feel life-changing. And
  399. 34:24don't get me wrong, it did feel good.
  400. 34:26but for about 10 seconds or so. But
  401. 34:28after that, I realized something
  402. 34:30important.
  403. 34:32I had spent so much time chasing a title
  404. 34:34that I forgot to enjoy the journey that
  405. 34:36got me here.
  406. 34:37I have been competitive about my grades
  407. 34:39for so long as I can remember. We're
  408. 34:41talking elementary school before I even
  409. 34:44knew what a salatoran was or even a
  410. 34:47validatoran. Once I learned about those
  411. 34:49titles in eighth grade, that became my
  412. 34:51main focus. At one point, at one point,
  413. 34:54I made it feel like my entire purpose.
  414. 34:56And honestly, that was part of my
  415. 34:58mistake. Many of you may not know this,
  416. 35:00but I actually spent my first two years
  417. 35:02at another high school before
  418. 35:04transferring the Heritage.
  419. 35:06During this time, all I care about was
  420. 35:08reaching this goal. I pushed myself
  421. 35:10constantly believing that if I've
  422. 35:12achieved it, everything would finally
  423. 35:14feel complete. But life doesn't work
  424. 35:16like that. Goals are important. Ambition
  425. 35:18is important. Working hard is important.
  426. 35:21But don't let one thing consume you so
  427. 35:23much that you forget there's more to
  428. 35:25life than achievement.
  429. 35:27Because at the end of the day, your GPA,
  430. 35:30your rank, your resume is not what
  431. 35:32defines you. What defines you is your
  432. 35:35character. The people you uplift, the
  433. 35:38memories you create, and the way you
  434. 35:39continue moving forward even when life
  435. 35:41doesn't go according to plan. And I
  436. 35:44think that's something our class
  437. 35:46understands well.
  438. 35:48We survived awkward freshman years,
  439. 35:50deadlines, sleepless nights, group
  440. 35:52projects for one person somehow did
  441. 35:54nothing, and the constant pressure of
  442. 35:55trying to figure out our future before
  443. 35:58we before we even fully knew ourselves.
  444. 36:00Yet somehow, through all of it, we made
  445. 36:03it together. So, class of 2026,
  446. 36:06as we move into the next chapter of our
  447. 36:07lives, don't stay stuck on the puzzle.
  448. 36:09Don't let fear stop you from trying
  449. 36:11something new. Don't let failure
  450. 36:13convince you to stop trying. And don't
  451. 36:15spend so much time worrying about the
  452. 36:16future that you forget to appreciate the
  453. 36:18present.
  454. 36:20Tomorrow is another day, another chance,
  455. 36:23another opportunity to grow into the
  456. 36:24person you choose to become. Now, before
  457. 36:27I finish, I want to [clears throat] take
  458. 36:29a moment to thank the people who made
  459. 36:31this journey possible. Thank you, Miss
  460. 36:33Aria and Miss Fowler, for being my
  461. 36:35kindergarten teachers and showing me
  462. 36:36what school first look like. Thank you,
  463. 36:39Mr. Rozo for giving me life advice about
  464. 36:41the people I surround myself with and
  465. 36:43for helping me recognize my worth and
  466. 36:45potential.
  467. 36:46Thank you, Mr. Tina, for always being
  468. 36:49someone I could talk to when things got
  469. 36:50overwhelming. College talk is no joke,
  470. 36:53and you definitely help lighten the
  471. 36:55load, even if you did lie to me at some
  472. 36:57point. I haven't forgotten that. Thank
  473. 37:00you for Thank you, Mr. and Tana for
  474. 37:02making school fun, introducing me into
  475. 37:04the world of robotics, and trusting me
  476. 37:06enough to become the president of the
  477. 37:07club and the captain of Twisted Metal.
  478. 37:10There were definitely times where I
  479. 37:11questioned whether being captain was
  480. 37:13even worth it because of how stressful
  481. 37:15it was. But that's okay. It really be
  482. 37:18like that sometimes.
  483. 37:20Thank you to my friends for always being
  484. 37:22there for for being there for me and
  485. 37:24dealing with all my antics. From queuing
  486. 37:26competitive games on Valerin and Marvel
  487. 37:28Rivals with Angelie whenever I needed to
  488. 37:30take my mind off things to using
  489. 37:32Microsoft whiteboard with Ivan to keep
  490. 37:34track of all the random connections in
  491. 37:35our lives to somehow getting Angel's
  492. 37:37grade from an F to B plus and AP
  493. 37:40pre-calculus in less than a month. To
  494. 37:42the people I would go to UCR with just
  495. 37:44to play billards during breaks, thank
  496. 37:47you for making those moments memorable
  497. 37:48and for teaching me how to play even
  498. 37:50though I'm completely washed now. And
  499. 37:53finally to the lunch group. A group made
  500. 37:56up of entirely transfers from different
  501. 37:59schools. You guys made coming to the
  502. 38:00school worth them.
  503. 38:10Mommy.
  504. 38:16Fore! Foreign! Foreign!
  505. 38:43>> [snorts]
  506. 38:54>> With that being said, class of 2026,
  507. 38:57don't stay stuck on the puzzle.
  508. 39:00Thank you and congratulations, class of
  509. 39:022026. [cheering]
  510. 39:04Good job. Come here, [applause] girl.
  511. 39:18Please welcome your 2026 validictorian,
  512. 39:21Micah Alviola.
  513. 39:23[cheering]
  514. 39:34Dare to dream. It is with great honor
  515. 39:36that I welcome you all to tonight's
  516. 39:38ceremony. Thank you to the passionate
  517. 39:40faculty that put this event together.
  518. 39:42Congrats. We'll all be unemployed by
  519. 39:45tomorrow.
  520. 39:48[snorts] Thank you to the parents who
  521. 39:49helped these graduates reach the very
  522. 39:51beginning of their adult life. Thank you
  523. 39:53to my best friend for giving me the
  524. 39:55confidence to be where I am today. Thank
  525. 39:57you to my mom and dad for teaching me to
  526. 40:00love and and responsibility. Thank you
  527. 40:02to my amazing sister who always spoke
  528. 40:04with me late night to help me study. And
  529. 40:06thank you to my brother who I must admit
  530. 40:08still drives me everywhere I need to be.
  531. 40:11And [snorts] thank you to the graduates
  532. 40:12yourselves. You made it. And our journey
  533. 40:14in life has only just begun.
  534. 40:18For those of you who might not know me,
  535. 40:19my name is Micah. And as you may be able
  536. 40:22to see in here, I am pretty different
  537. 40:24from the normal student. If you were to
  538. 40:27ask me in middle or elementary school
  539. 40:29where I would be today, I would say,
  540. 40:31"Girl, you was insane. Get up out of my
  541. 40:34face." But here I am, in spite of
  542. 40:38everything different about me. And it's
  543. 40:40all because I chose to be crazy. Which
  544. 40:43brings me to my next point. A question I
  545. 40:46want you all to answer from your heart.
  546. 40:49[snorts]
  547. 40:49Truth or dare?
  548. 40:57I know that's right.
  549. 40:59>> Truth. Yeah, I get it. It's a safe bet
  550. 41:02and you're smart to choose it. But to
  551. 41:05dare, who would choose that? Who would
  552. 41:08choose to embrace the unknown? In a few
  553. 41:11short moments, we, the Heritage High
  554. 41:13School graduating class of 26, will
  555. 41:15dare. And whether you like it or not,
  556. 41:17[snorts] that makes us crazy. If we are
  557. 41:20to make anything of ourselves, we cannot
  558. 41:22choose the safe path, but
  559. 41:23[clears throat] the path with unknown
  560. 41:25obstacles. If you are scared, know that
  561. 41:27even
  562. 41:29uh crazier people have come before
  563. 41:32[snorts] who've made the choice to
  564. 41:33embrace the unknown and made the world a
  565. 41:35better place. Amanda Gorman, her in her
  566. 41:38inaugural poem, The Hill We Climb, said,
  567. 41:40"The strength of our nation lies in its
  568. 41:42vast diversity and never- ending goal of
  569. 41:43equality and peace." She stated that it
  570. 41:46[snorts] is the promise to the glade,
  571. 41:48the hill we climb. if only we dare it.
  572. 41:50Our class is a tapestry of colors,
  573. 41:53unique identities, and different
  574. 41:54backgrounds. Through all four of our
  575. 41:56formative years, these very American
  576. 41:58differences shaped who we were and are
  577. 42:01what will forge who we will be if only
  578. 42:04we let it. If only we dare it. I know
  579. 42:07that many of us have chosen to dare
  580. 42:09because we were all freshmen at one
  581. 42:10point. [snorts] As freshman, we walked
  582. 42:12into the school with faces and outfits
  583. 42:14with that shall not be named or
  584. 42:16remembered, especially in picture form.
  585. 42:19As [snorts] sophomores, we held our
  586. 42:20heads a little higher, walked a tad more
  587. 42:22confidently, and focused more on school.
  588. 42:25As juniors, we were just one year short
  589. 42:27of finally leaving, but it didn't feel
  590. 42:28like it. I mean, we have a year, so
  591. 42:31what's the rush? As [snorts] the days,
  592. 42:34weeks, and months began to pass, we
  593. 42:36still believe that we had all the time
  594. 42:37in the world. Spoiler alert, we didn't.
  595. 42:40In the time it took us to realize this,
  596. 42:41we were already grabbing our caps and
  597. 42:43gowns. Crazy, right? [snorts]
  598. 42:46There are some happy feelings, like an
  599. 42:48end to walking across the entire campus
  600. 42:49to get to third period. An end to the
  601. 42:51Beatles who think your hair or think you
  602. 42:53are the perfect place to rest. An end to
  603. 42:56the dreadful experience of walking
  604. 42:57behind the slowest walkers known to
  605. 42:59humankind.
  606. 43:02[snorts]
  607. 43:02But it's also an end to walking with
  608. 43:04your friends in between periods. An end
  609. 43:07[snorts] to hanging out after school,
  610. 43:08straight to the mall, or straight to a
  611. 43:10restaurant.
  612. 43:12An end to laughing so hard in the middle
  613. 43:13of a presentation because you just so
  614. 43:15happened to glance at your friend. And
  615. 43:18then to seeing your favorite teachers,
  616. 43:20this is insane. I cannot believe we're
  617. 43:22graduating. Today marks a new chapter in
  618. 43:24our life, seniors. All of us will go
  619. 43:26into the world to study education,
  620. 43:28engineering, medicine, science, art,
  621. 43:30literature, and so on. No matter how
  622. 43:33hard we wish it not to be true, our
  623. 43:34friendships will become static in our
  624. 43:36adult life. Soon, all of those mirror
  625. 43:38selfies in L and W will become a distant
  626. 43:40memory. Those group pictures on the
  627. 43:42field or in the bleachers are now foggy.
  628. 43:44What will be left is a mixture of
  629. 43:45memories. Forgetting is, of course,
  630. 43:48inevitable. All we can do now is hope to
  631. 43:50cherish it. Hold on to the life we have
  632. 43:52built with each other and never forget
  633. 43:53that just as we have triumphed, have
  634. 43:55dared [snorts] before, we can do so
  635. 43:57again. I dare us all to dream to enter
  636. 44:00our new life daringly. Whether we be
  637. 44:03dark or whether we are dark or copper
  638. 44:05skinned, whether we are trans, whether
  639. 44:07we are any manner of queer identity,
  640. 44:09talkative or not, unk status or little
  641. 44:11bro, [snorts] have undergone medical
  642. 44:13intervention, know that these
  643. 44:15differences, they are not a stain on
  644. 44:16your character, but a contribution to
  645. 44:18our ever diversifying, growing, and
  646. 44:20innovative country. We, [snorts] the
  647. 44:22graduating class of 26, our generation
  648. 44:25Z, hail from a legacy of change makers.
  649. 44:29So be daring. The only way to move
  650. 44:31forward is to dare to be crazy and step
  651. 44:34into the unknown.
  652. 44:37I also have a few short words.
  653. 44:40In our future, it our future may seem
  654. 44:42grim and distant, but [snorts] know that
  655. 44:46humankind has faced even grimmer and
  656. 44:49dark [snorts] futures before. know that
  657. 44:51whatever is happening in Palestine, in
  658. 44:53the Congo, in in our own country,
  659. 44:57in the at the border, know that we have
  660. 45:00triumphed before and that on your
  661. 45:02shoulders is the [snorts] right to make
  662. 45:04a difference, is the right to make that
  663. 45:06all the better. Thank you.
