June 2017 Message from the Superintendent

Oh, The Places They'll Go!


June is a time for our culminating activities, celebrating our students' achievements, and, with mixed emotions, saying farewell to our seniors.


We are proud of the accomplishments of our graduating seniors, and are confident that they are well-prepared to be successful in their new lives as they move on to college and careers.


Carlsbad High School's 532 graduates will be receiving their diplomas on June 15. Grads will be attending colleges across the nation, such as Barnard, Swarthmore, United States Air Force Academy, Princeton, Smith, Brigham Young University, Colorado State, Columbia, United States Military Academy, and Penn State.


Many will attend closer to home, at schools such as UCLA, UC San Diego, Cal State University San Marcos, San Diego State University, and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. A large number of graduates have decided to attend community colleges such as MiraCosta College and Palomar College.


Carlsbad High School's valedictorian Julia Zeng will be attending Johns Hopkins University. Salutatorians Muhammad Lehrmann plans to attend UC Berkeley, Jeffrey Sardina will be going to UC San Diego, Miranda Lakey is off to Seattle University, and Ruiqi "Rachel" Wang will be attending UCLA.


Sage Creek High School is preparing for its first ever graduation ceremony. The senior class of 265 students will receive their diplomas in the SCHS Stadium on June 15.


SCHS students will be attending all nine UC campuses and seven Cal State Universities. SCHS will be represented at colleges in 16 states and Canada. Some of the colleges that students have selected are Notre Dame, Yale, USC, Fordham, Penn State, Vassar, Occidental, and Villanova. Over 60 students are planning to attend MiraCosta College and other community colleges.

BOBCATS are on the map!

Sage Creek High School's first valedictorian, Cameron Yenche, is going to UCSD, and salutatorian Anna Perhach will attend UC Berkeley.


Carlsbad Village Academy congratulates its twenty-nine 2017 graduates. Eleven of the grads state that they will be attending community college, one will be joining the military, and ten students will begin full time jobs. Carlsbad Seaside Academy celebrates its sixteen graduates, seven of whom will be attending four-year universities, and nine will be going to community colleges.

We wish all of our graduates the best as you enter the next exciting chapters of your lives. We hope you will keep in touch.
