Sacred Heart Preparatory School in Atherton on May 26 graduated 156 students, the largest graduating class in the school’s 119-year history.
School spokesperson Diana Chamorro said the graduates would be attending 71 different post-secondary institutions, from American University to Foothill College to several University of California campuses to Yale University.
The Class of 2017’s valedictorian is Grace Zdeblick, who is to enroll at Yale in the fall. The salutatorian is Gordon Holterman, who will attend Stanford University.
Chamorro said the recipients of the Blue Ribbons — “the highest honor Sacred Heart Prep bestows upon a senior at graduation for embodying the goals and criteria of a Sacred Heart Education” were:
- Julia Basnage and Katherine Harrison, for Goal I: A personal and active faith in God;
- Connor Johnston, Natalie Novitsky and Isabella Rhyu for Goal II: A deep respect for intellectual value;
- Dominique Reese and Alfonso Siam for Goal III: A social awareness which impels to action;
- Isoa Moimoi and Hayley Pietro for Goal IV: The building of community as a Christian value; and
- Karina Cabrera, Oscar Delgado and Vincent Xie, for Goal V: Personal growth in an atmosphere of wise freedom.
In addition, Dark Blue Ribbons were presented to Sophie Amid-Hozour, Jack Pleasants and Alexa Thomson for exemplifying all five goals and criteria.
Chamorro said 19 students earned recognition by the National Merit Scholarship program, 16 have committed to play collegiate athletics and 23 members of the graduating class have been on the Sacred Heart campus for 12 or more years.
Sacred Heart Schools, located on a 64-acre campus, is the only accredited preschool through 12th grade school on the Peninsula, with a total enrollment of approximately 1,190 students, said Chamorro.
