Graduation 2020: Turlock High student list, words from students, principal

School Name: Turlock High School

Number of graduates: 586

Valedictorians: Miriam Aguirre Padilla

Words from ASB President Anthony Frias: “What I will miss most about my senior year is my friends in all my classes and my brothers on the football team. This year was by far the most fun year I had and it is hard to take it in on how it was cut short.”

Words from Principal Gabe Ontiveros: “My advice to the THS Class of 2020: As you face the future, even in uncertain times, remember our school mantra, Bulldogs are thinkers, hard-workers and self-motivators. Now and all year long, you have demonstrated resiliency, kindness and togetherness during tough times. Recall these traits when you need them and continue to stay positive as you work through life’s challenges. Life is what you make of it. Go get yourself a great one. Go Bulldogs!”
