Yesterday, we proudly celebrated and honored SMHS senior Eduardo Gomez as this monthβs Rising Star! βοΈ
The Rising Stars program brings our community together to recognize seniors who demonstrate character, integrity, a love of learning, community involvement, and the strength to overcome lifeβs challenges while staying committed to their education.
Eduardo was recognized for his incredible resilience and perseverance despite lifeβs challenges. His strength, determination, and commitment to his education inspire all of us. π
A huge thank you to SMUSD, the City of San Marcos and our Mayor, the San Marcos Chamber of Commerce, and all of our local sponsors for supporting this meaningful program and celebrating our students.
Congratulations, Eduardo β keep shining! β¨ππ½
