San Clemente High School Class of 2026

BY ANGELICA ESCOBAR

T

he June 4 graduation ceremony for San Clemente High School’s Class of 2026 was one to remember as thousands packed into Thalassa Stadium to celebrate the school’s 62nd commencement.

Principal Dr. Brad Baker, a 1996 SCHS graduate himself, addressed the graduating class with a speech centered on leadership, courage and taking initiative as students prepare for the next chapter of their lives.

“The world does not need more people waiting in the background. It needs people willing to lead with courage, with kindness and character,” Baker said during his address.

Baker encouraged graduates to “go first,” sharing stories about leadership, kindness and the importance of stepping forward even when the future feels uncertain. He reflected on lessons learned throughout his own journey and challenged students to be leaders in their communities, classrooms and future careers.

The first commencement speaker and Scholar of Scholars, Darla Larson, was followed by Sean Revetti and senior class president Santana DelCastillo, each of whom delivered personal and heartfelt messages to their fellow graduates.

Throughout their remarks, the student speakers reflected on the friendships, memories and experiences that defined their years at San Clemente High School while encouraging their classmates to embrace the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.

The ceremony also included recognition of district officials, local leaders and retiring educators whose years of service helped shape generations of students throughout the Capistrano Unified School District.

Following the conferring of diplomas, graduates participated in the traditional moving of the tassels before celebrating with family, friends and faculty members as members of the Class of 2026 officially became San Clemente High School alumni.

C

lass of 2026… congratulations.

Tonight is more than a graduation ceremony. It’s a starting line.

It’s the moment where you move from who you’ve been… to who you are becoming.

And as you leave San Clemente High School, there’s one idea I hope stays with you: Go first. Thirty years ago, I sat exactly where you’re sitting.

In 1996, I walked this very stage. Same campus. Same ocean breeze. Same excitement and uncertainty about what came next.

Sure, life was different. We had pay phones, paper maps and if you liked someone, you had to call their house and hope their parents didn’t answer first. That alone gives your generation a huge advantage.

But what I admire most about this class is this: You know how to step forward.

You know how to lead.

And you know how to go first.

One of your classmates, Saxon Goth, shared a quote with me this year that stuck:

San Clemente Times

“The clock only runs one way.”

And he’s right.

Time moves forward.

Life moves forward.

And eventually, all of us reach moments when we have to decide whether we’ll stay comfortable ... or go first.

You grew up in a world filled with different pressures, expectations and constant change. Yet through all of it… you kept showing up.

You supported each other. You adapted. You kept moving forward. And that matters.

Because the people who change the world are rarely the people waiting for permission. They’re the people willing to raise their hand first.

To care first. To lead first.

Going first takes courage.

It’s easy to follow the crowd. It’s harder to set the tone.

This year, I watched a moment on campus that I’ll never forget. One student was sitting alone at lunch. Another student noticed him. Nobody asked. Nobody told

him to go over there. But he sat down beside him. Started talking. Shared lunch with him. And within minutes, everything changed.

By the end of lunch, that student was smiling. The rest of the day, he carried himself differently.

That’s what going first looks like. Not attention. Not recognition. Not applause.

Just choosing kindness before someone else does.

Because years from now, people may not remember your GPA, your stats or your titles. But they will remember your character.

They will remember how you made people feel.

As you leave here tonight, there will be moments ahead when life feels uncertain.

Moments when plans change.

Moments when you doubt yourself.

Moments when you wonder whether you’re ready. The truth is … nobody ever feels completely ready.

But readiness isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about being willing to take the next step anyway. And you are more ready

Page 3

than you think. You already know how to overcome challenges. You already know how to adapt.

And you already know how to lead when it matters most.

So when you walk onto a college campus … into a workplace… onto a team… or into a room where nobody knows your name yet…

Be the person who goes first. Be the first to say hello. The first to include someone.

The first to stand up for what’s right. The first to bring energy. The first to bring hope.

Because you never know whose life might change simply because you chose to step forward.

Class of 2026 …

The world does not need more people waiting in the background. It needs people willing to lead with courage. With kindness. With character. It needs people like you. So go first. Go lead. Go serve. Go create. Go make things better.

Class of 2026 ...

The clock only runs one way. So don’t wait. Go first. Congratulations, Tritons!

SCHS Scholar of Scholars Darla Larson Graduation Address

G

ood afternoon, everyone.

Before anything else, I’d like to thank the people who helped us get here. Thank you to our families for all the car rides, cheering us on at sporting events, and for being here today. Thank you to our teachers, coaches, and Triton staff who challenged us to think both critically and creatively, and who believed we could always do better. And thank you to our classmates, who made us laugh and turned ordinary school days into long-lasting memories.

For most of our lives, we’ve been preparing for what comes next. We prepared for middle, then high school. We prepared for exams, tryouts, college applications, and job interviews. It often felt like we were constantly looking toward the next milestone.

And now we’ve reached one.

The strange thing is that none of us really knows what comes after this. We all have plans, of course, whether that’s attending college or entering the workforce. But for the first time in a long time, the path ahead isn’t completely mapped out.

I think that’s both terrifying and exciting.

Because some of the best moments in life happen when things don’t go exactly according to plan. They happen when we take a class we never expected to enjoy.

When we talk to someone who becomes a close friend. When we try something new and discover a passion we didn’t know we had.

And sometimes, life forces us to pivot in ways we never expected. Like many of us have already learned, things don’t always work out exactly the way we imagined. For five years, I had my heart set on attending the same school my older siblings attended. When I didn’t get accepted, I

not only felt the disappointment of being rejected, but also that feeling of “now what?” But, those moments teach us to be resilient and adaptable, and often lead us to exciting new places we’d never considered before. I now can’t wait to explore an unfamiliar place and forge my own path.

Looking back, I know I will not remember every grade I got or every assignment I turned in. What I’ll remember are the unexpected moments: the bus rides to games, the teachers who made us chocolate chip cookies or helped us plant a garden, and the people who made school feel a little less stressful and a lot more fun.

Those moments weren’t always part of the plan. They were just things we experienced because we showed up.

As we leave tonight, I hope we continue to do that, because life is at its best when we’re willing to step into something unfamiliar. None of us know exactly where we’ll be in five or ten years. But that’s okay. The future doesn’t come with clear instructions. That’s what makes it exciting. What matters is that we’re willing to be present for it, to say yes to opportunities and to welcome the occasional detour.

I want to close with some advice my grandpa gave me every time we played golf together. I’d be on the green, lining up my putt, and, without fail, he’d say, “Short putts never go in.” It was his way of telling me to take some risks and be brave even if it was easier to play it safe. Wherever life takes us next, I hope we take chances and embrace the uncertainty ahead.

So to the Class of 2026: thank you for the friendships and the unplanned moments that made these years unforgettable.

Congratulations, graduates.
