Aurora Malerba, one of our Class of 2026 salutatorians, delivered a profound message through the medium of Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” at our Senior Dinner.
We are humbled to learn from our students, as they remind us what matters most.
One of Pacifica’s Class of 2026 Salutatorians, Jenna Kim, delivered a poignant address at last night’s Senior Dinner.
This tradition allows for one last time of breaking bread and fellowshipping with the graduating class, their families, and staff. Now with just two days until caps are thrown, we’re so thankful for every opportunity to celebrate these students as a community.

Today, Pacifica honors those who have served and sacrificed. In our remembrance, we strive to emulate those coveted values of courage, responsibility, humility, brotherhood, and perseverance.
Thank you to those veterans no longer with us. Thank you to those who continue to carry a legacy greater than themselves.
