San Benito High School seniors are facing their last semester before they are set free into the world. While some plan on college, others will go straight into jobs.
Senior Casey Dearden said he is “Glad to be done” with the long, difficult road. After graduation, he plans to serve a mission for a church, and then major in English literature in college. Dearden said he has really “enjoyed the atmosphere” at SBHS and said his favorite experience has been the school play. Dearden’s words of advice for underclassmen is to “take advantage as long as you can.”
Senior Mecha Club President, Elissa Rodriguez, said she “learned a lot in high school” about who she is. After graduation, she plans to find a “summer job to save up for college.” She got accepted to Humboldt State. She says high school has been a “good memory,” as she has been involved in six clubs, and she advises that underclassmen to get involved now, and “do your work and listen in class.”
