San Clemente High School Class of 2024

BY C. JAYDEN SMITH

T

he May 30 graduation ceremony for San Clemente High School’s Class of 2024 was one to remember, as thousands packed into Thalassa Stadium celebrated the school’s 60th commencement, the last one for Principal Chris Carter.

Carter, moving on to take on a new role in the Capistrano Unified School District, introduced his successor and proud parent of a Class of ’24 graduate, Brad Baker, at the ceremony along with other local officials.

“As I reflect on the past nine years and the honor of presiding over this prestigious event, I find this moment to be bittersweet,” he said.

During his speech, Carter also chronicled how the seniors persevered through challenges to learning brought by the COVID-19 pandemic, the championships achieved by SCHS’ boys’ cross country, dance, football, girls’ water polo and surf teams, and various other impressive achievements.

Other speeches were delivered by Scholar of Scholars Anthony Wu, Associated Student Body President Blake McAlpin and Scaret Figueroa, the latter of whom gave the first bilingual address in the school’s history.

Commencement Address

BY PRINCIPAL CHRIS CARTER

P

arents, family members and guests, today we come together to recognize the graduating class of 2024. As I reflect on the past nine years and the honor of presiding over this prestigious event, I find this moment to be bittersweet. This will be my last graduation ceremony, and like many of you, I have watched my own two boys walk across this stage. Parents, I know exactly how you are feeling right now. Memories are flowing through your minds — from the first day of kindergarten to the milestones of middle and high school. You tirelessly drove them to and from school, from one practice to another, all to provide them with opportunities to pursue their dreams. And now, we are here together to celebrate the culmination of their remarkable accomplishments.

ADDRESS from page 13 To the graduating class: Winston Churchill once said, “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.” At the start of your four-year high school journey, you faced unimaginable challenges. However, you refused to let those challenges define or limit your high school experience.

In the words of senior Kimberly Barajas, “We learned early in our high school careers to be flexible and resilient; our challenges made us hard-working and determined.” Graduates, you have built on our traditions, set new records, and impressed all of us with your determination. What an incredible four years it has been, Class of 2024!

Senior Kate Roeber captures the essence of your journey, “Over the course of four years, strangers became friends, classrooms became communities, and San Clemente High School became a second home.” Seniors, although your paths were varied, you have grown in knowledge, judgment, confidence, perseverance, and leadership. Senior Vander Mudge observes, “We have been lucky to be in an environment that values diversity. Just look around — we have smart kids — like crazy smart! We have artistic and creative kids, actors, musicians, athletes and dancers.

We have kids who can cook an awesome meal, some who can build robots out of soda cans, and others who could take apart and rebuild your car engine. We have students fighting for equality, some fighting for inclusivity (and others who just like to fight).” Remember, those are Vander’s words, not mine!

Seniors, your success has been outstanding. Our performing arts continued to shine, earning awards for breathtaking performances. Our incredible dance team won yet another national title.

Drama entertained us with incredible productions like “Beauty and the Beast,” “Les Misérables,” “Phantom of the Opera,” “Newsies” and this year’s fun and spirited “Legally Blonde.”

Your shows attracted record-breaking community attendance and garnered numerous regional awards and high honors. Our school newspaper and yearbook staff are continuously raising the bar in the quality of their publications. I would be remiss if I did not mention our incredible AVID students, who helped us earn the title of AVID National Demonstration School, one of only 203 in the entire nation.

Our athletic teams once again dominated, securing numerous league titles. Our girls’ water polo team captured another CIF State Championship. Our boys’ cross-country team continued

San Clemente Times June 13-June 18, 2024

to excel, winning another Southern Section CIF Championship and our first State Championship.

They were invited to the prestigious Nike Invitational in Oregon, securing eighth place in the nation.

Our Surf Team continues to dominate every year with state and national titles; absolutely impressive. How about our football team winning the league and being placed in the top CIF bracket earning us the title of No. 1 public high school team in Orange County?

You made contributions both at school and in the community as leaders, volunteers, and employees. Senior Bella Schmidt reminds us, “We emerge from these four years, maybe not even realizing yet, that we are transformed. Our potential has barely been tapped.” In the words of senior Tyler Pearce: “Each of our voices is powerful and unique, something that can’t be replicated, measured by ability or easily categorized. This is the essence of what our exceptional time at San Clemente High School has provided us — the passion and courage to speak up and make our dreams a reality.” Seniors, your wide-ranging experiences and interests have made this class strong. With the guidance of your families, your teachers, and staff, you have embraced one another and worked together to find success as Tritons and beyond.

Fellow senior Bella Isaac beautifully states, “This moment marks not just an end, but a new beginning; we are about to start a new journey filled with unknown opportunities and challenges.” Graduates, I encourage you to keep sharing your diverse abilities and talents, to be inclusive of those around you, and to contribute toward success on a grander scale.

Graduating senior Alana Clavijo expresses a sentiment we all share: “Sometimes we can’t let go of memories because they are constant reminders of a great story we thought would continue.

But we knew this one would come to an end. Now it’s time for us to open our new book and write what happens next.” Senior Tessa Lynch adds, “Let’s dive into the future with the courage to fail, and the assurance that it’s OK to land face-first along the way — because that’s how we’ll learn.”

Seniors — on behalf of the dedicated faculty and staff — I want to express how immensely proud we are of each and every one of you for successfully navigating the challenges of high school. You are surrounded by a loving network of family and friends who are bursting with pride and joy at this significant milestone. Together with the entire San Clemente community, I extend our heartfelt congratulations to the remarkable class of 2024.

Scholar of Scholars SPEECH BY ANTHONY WU

G

ood evening, parents, teachers and students from the Class of 2024. It’s an honor to speak with you today because we are here at an important crossroad; we are here on the doorstep of our lives. And in that spirit, I wish to share with you a story from my life, just one, in the hopes that you may find it useful at your next crossroads.

I was never a very social kid. When I was 7, I remember coming home to my dad, telling him that I had no friends.

I think he was a bit surprised when, 10 years later, he was walking on this very field with his son as homecoming king. I’m here today to tell you that story from the inside, one that the large crowds would never hear, but that is all too familiar standing in the middle of that field.

That day is forever in my memory.

I remember the nervousness when my name was called, the fireworks and white smoke creating a literal cloud of smog around me.

I remember being on my toes when a surprise two-point conversion topped off an insanely close homecoming game.

But what I remember most of all was the emptiness I felt when I came home.

How can you be empty when you just won Homecoming? Did something happen? Well, what happened was…nothing. And nothing was my issue.

See, perhaps I imagined that if only I was popular, things would somehow be different.

That maybe the magnitude of the achievement would make me finally content, or that all of my problems would go away.

But it didn’t.

When I finally “made it,” I realized how empty I really felt.

We often spend our lives telling ourselves, “if only.”

For you, maybe it’s not popularity. Maybe you tell yourself that if only you had this girl or that cute guy by your side, then you’d finally feel whole.

Maybe you tell yourself that if only that one friend group would let you hang out with them, then your social life would be complete.

Maybe you tell yourself that if only you became rich and wealthy, you’d buy your own happiness.

When life could be better, we like to escape into an imaginary future. A future that says, “If only I had ____, then I’ll be happy.”

I hope you get there soon, so that you’ll realize that it’s not the place where you’ll find your sense of completion.

I know this isn’t your typical graduation chowder, but I’m serving it up because I realized that some people never learn this their entire lives.

San Clemente Times June 13-June 18, 2024

They live in the future of “if only,” so they lose the beauty that is here right now.

They spend their life chasing after money, fame and other empty ghosts, until one day they look into the mirror and see someone who’s rich, old and alone.

Let me be clear. Ambition is an extraordinary gift, but when you go out into the world starting today, remember that achievement can found in high places, but contentment is the matter of what is in here.

Perhaps you don’t know what you truly love. Maybe you don’t yet know what you really want out of life…but you might have a clue.

If you listen to what you love, and let it lead the way, then you’ll never regret a day of your life.

We only have so much time in this world, and the adventure that is ahead of each and every one of you is yours once you stop believing in “if only,” and start looking for the beauty is what is “only now.”

Have a good one; to each one of you, I’m sure we will meet again. And I will look forward to that day. Thank you for four amazing years.
