The ceremony will begin with an address from the class valedictorian, Neomia Valenzuela. This year's graduating class has 115 students.

Among the outstanding graduates is Jessica Hewitt. Hewitt's father passed away when she was half-way through her degree program, leaving her to run the family's business.
