Dana Hills High School Class of 2026

BY HAYZE LAW

S

tudents of Dana Hills High School’s Class of 2026 gathered on the stadium field Thursday, June 4, as family members, friends and teachers filled the stands for commencement. In keeping with a long-standing Dana Hills tradition, several seniors arrived on campus by scooter before making their way onto the field to the sound of “Pomp and Circumstance,” performed by the Dana Hills Symphonic Orchestra under the direction of James Caestecker. Graduates waved toward loved ones in the crowd as they took their seats while cheers echoed throughout the stadium.

Once students were seated, ASU President Abram Garfinkle led the Pledge of Allegiance before Principal Brittany Casey welcomed the graduating class and guests. The SOCSA Jazz Choir, conducted by Makena Green, then performed The Beatles’ “In My Life.”

CUSD Trustee Jennifer Adnams presented diplomas as graduates crossed the stage one by one to celebrate the end of their high school years. After the presentation of diplomas, commencement speakers Brooke Queen, Cameron Anh Pham and Charles Chiaverini addressed their classmates. Casey then presented the Class of 2026, which Adnams formally accepted before Senior Class President Sarah Gholson led the traditional turning of the tassel to close the ceremony.

As the ceremony came to an end, family members and friends rushed onto the field to celebrate the school’s newest alumni, sharing hugs and snapping photos.

o the Dana Hills High School Class of 2026 — what a ride it’s been. This year, you showed us what resilience, unity, acceptance and heart truly look like. You adapted when circumstances changed, you supported one another through challenges, and you continued to move forward with courage and compassion. And through it all, your class learned how to evolve without losing sight of who you are or what matters most: community, connection and kindness.

That spirit could be seen everywhere across campus. As athletes, you competed with fire, grit and pride. You didn’t just chase victories — you created memories and moments that will live on long after the final whistle. As artists, you brought stories to life and reminded us of the power of expression, imagination and connection.

As scholars, you adapted to new grading policies, pushed boundaries, exceeded expectations and demonstrated what can happen when dedication meets opportunity.

And in between all of those accomplishments, there were still challenges, disappointments and moments of uncertainty. But through it all, you continued to show up for one another. You listened. You encouraged. You accepted people for who they are. You created spaces where others felt seen, valued and supported.

As you leave Dana Hills, remember the world needs people willing to choose understanding over judgment, compassion over criticism and unity over fear. Continue to lead with kindness.

Continue to include others. Continue to recognize the humanity in every person you meet, in the same way you have gracefully navigated Dana Hills for the past four years.

Most importantly, continue to accept yourself — your story, your struggles, your growth and everything that makes you uniquely you.

Class of 2026, you have inspired your school, your community and your principal. You’ve Dana Point Times

shown us that strength is found not only in achievements, but in empathy, acceptance and the willingness to lift one another up. I am proud of each of you and believe that you are destined for great things. Now, go show the world what Dana Hills is made of ...

Congratulations, Dolphins!

ood afternoon faculty, family, friends, and most importantly, Class of 2026. It is both an incredible honor and a humbling experience to stand before you today. I want to begin by acknowledging that the moment is not mine alone. It belongs to every student sitting in front of me. To every parent that supported us along the way. To every teacher and staff member who believed in us, even when we didn’t quite believe in ourselves.

Today marks the end of an era and the start of something entirely new.

I am in the exact same position as all of my peers sitting before me. We are all scared for the future, eager to be done with the past, and just trying to soak up the present while we can. That being said, how can I sum up four years of growth, mistakes, lessons, memories and relationships in just a few minutes?

In a video I made in middle school for my future self, I expressed how nervous I was to transfer schools, and I hoped that I would feel content in choosing Dana Hills. Watching my younger self share these hesitations allowed me to reflect on my time here in high school and appreciate the blessing it was to attend Dana.

What I realized is that the beautiful moments of high school are made in passing. They are found in the collective laughter as the fire alarms go off for the third time in one period, in the brief conversations between friends in the hallways as they wait for the bell to ring, in the silent celebrations of students whose hours of studying paid off, and in the decades of shared love that lingers all around our campus.

Dana didn’t just give us an education; it also gave us a community.

Four years ago, we wandered unknown halls without any idea of what the future would hold. Now, every corner of campus is filled with memories.

May we never forget the sight of Steve greeting us by name as we walk into school, the sound of the Friday song through the announcement speakers, the constant traffic jams in the student parking lot, the strong smell of whatever culinary was cooking wafting through the vents, and the Friday nights spent in blue and white. Our time together at Dana has been filled with love, laughter and life.

I’d like to share a quote from Winnie the Pooh that fits our situation perfectly: “How lucky are we to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.”

The sadness we feel today is something to appreciate, not fear.

While we put on a brave face and act as if starting on a new path isn’t terrifying, we have to face the fact that it is. Change is not something to fear, it is something to embrace with open arms.

If there’s anything our time here at Dana Hills has taught us, it is that one of the only true constants in life will be change. Parking passes, grading scales, buildings on campus, they all changed. And yet, every time we adapted. We figured it out. We always do.

Today we are all standing at the same starting line, but we will not take the same road. Some of us are moving across the country, some of us staying in California. Some have had a plan for years, and some are still figuring it out.

It’s scary not knowing exactly what comes next, but it is comforting to know that no matter which path we take, it can still be meaningful, still beautiful and still ours. The future may be uncertain, but our time here was not.

The laughter and the growth and the love were real. The people made the place.

We will always share this campus, these years, and these memories. So wherever your road leads, just know that Dana Hills will always stand behind you.

Go Dolphins!

very community has its sayings. Take a moment to think about a saying that has followed you through life.

At Dana, we keep our heads high when the announcements echo, “Fins up, dolphins!” At home, we are surrounded by generations of sayings from our family members and beyond, whether it be sayings of encouragement, tenacity or hope.

For me, my mother instilled the phrase “CÔ lên” into my mindset, a Vietnamese reminder to “keep going.” As I have learned to keep going, I stand here realizing that this day is not about finishing high school but recognizing everything and everyone who brought us here.

Both of my parents made the difficult decision to leave their home, Vietnam, in hopes for a life of opportunities for their children. I was only 2 years old when I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, and their decision to settle in the United States gave me the chance to live a normal life. So before anything else, I want to thank my parents.

To my mother and father: thank you for teaching me how to keep going with direction. Your pathways have demonstrated to everyone around you that dreams are tangible as long as you have direction and the resilience to simply keep going.

To my classmates: While our stories are all different, we all share something in common: We’ve all had people and moments that shaped us.

If we are to hold onto any lessons from Dana Hills, it is how to keep going, the very lesson that has gotten us as far as we are today. The people: the teachers that have taught us what we know, the office staff we call to excuse ourselves from class, and the friends that shaped our very minds these past four years. Even if you don’t realize it, inspiration lies in each one of these people, especially our educators.

Dana Hills does not house teachers that simply teach us about math or English but about life. Their

Dana Point Times

passion for teaching has taught us that dreaming extends to helping others, helping us get through indeterminable challenges. Whether it be bouncing back from a fall on the playing field, retaking a test you did poorly on, or improvising through mishaps on the Porthole stage, it is undeniable that this school and the pod have taught us how to overcome challenges. These challenges will now serve as reminders to keep going.

As we take these next steps in our lives and leave the pod, I encourage you to: Learn from the people who raised you, even when their lessons don’t fully make sense yet. Learn from the obstacles that seem unfair, because sometimes those are the moments that shape you the most.

Most importantly, find your motivation to keep going. Because success isn’t about talent or intelligence, but the ability to follow through. We often respect those who study medicine or law, but it isn’t the needle or the gavel we admire; we admire their dedication to their dream. Success is a result of dedication, a result of consistency and pushing through, of being able to keep going for your reason.

After today, we’re stepping into a world that will challenge us in ways we are unable to predict. But, if we carry the lessons learned from people and challenges that got us here — the inspiration from our peers, educators and family, and the resilience from our challenges — there is no doubt we will be ready.

Today is not the end; today is the proof that we’ve already overcome so much, and wherever you end up, your future is your opportunity to learn. Learning doesn’t end here when we leave school; it is a lifelong journey.

No matter what life throws at you, cÔ lên; keep going. Keep learning.

Con căm Ôn ba má!

Congratulations, Class of 2026, and thank you!

DANA HILLS HIGH SCHOOL

Dana Hills HS Senior Charles Chiaverini Graduation Speech

H

ere is a fact that might sound like something out of a physics textbook, but I think about it more than I probably should.

A single domino can knock over another domino roughly one and a half times its own size. That doesn’t sound like much. But if you line up 29 dominoes, each one and a half times bigger than the last, starting from a domino the size of a fingernail, by domino 29 you are toppling something the size of the Empire State Building.

Twenty-nine steps. From a fingernail to a skyscraper.

But the chain has rules. The pieces have to be different sizes. And they have to be close enough to reach each other. Break either rule and the chain dies. You need both difference and proximity.

I did not start at Dana. I spent a year at a small private school before transferring here. It was quiet, comfortable and everyone knew everyone. But the dominoes were all the same size. Same backgrounds, same perspectives, same comfortable distances. I was not growing.

When I arrived at Dana, I was timid. What I found were dominoes of every possible size. People who thought differently, believed differently, lived differently and somehow ended up in the same hallways anyway. Close enough to reach each other. Different enough to actually matter.

That is when the cascade began.

I felt it at Senior Sunrise: the first domino I actually saw fall. Tons of us on the field in the early morning, eating breakfast together, watching the sky change color. Nobody was performing.

Nobody was trying to be anything. Just people, together. That is what proximity feels like. That is what it looks like when different people are placed close enough to matter.

I felt it at every football game. Showing up an hour early, packed into the student section, screaming for a player most of us had never spoken to. Something about those nights dissolved every social boundary that existed inside the school walls. The kid you passed in the hallway without a word became the person you were shouting in unison with in the stands. That is not a small thing. That is a chain moving.

Four years of moments like those changed us. Not in one big dramatic instant, but in a thousand small contacts. A conversation that shifted how you saw something. A friendship that never would have existed somewhere smaller. Each one a domino falling into the next, each one leaving you a little different than you were before.

The people in these buildings made us different than we were when we walked in. And different, I learned here, is the only thing that makes a chain move, because a domino that never changes size never reaches the next one.

Now, here is what I keep thinking about.

The domino chain only needed 29 pieces to reach the Empire State Building. We have 400. Four hundred people, shaped by four years of contact and collision and genuine human connection, about to carry that energy in every direction.

Class of 2026, the chain does not end today. It starts.

Stay close to people who are different from you. Let them change you. Carry what you built here into every room you walk into, and tip the first domino. And trust that somewhere down the line, the energy you are carrying right now will topple something enormous.

We have four hundred dominoes.

Congratulations, Class of 2026.
