Sofia is a true standout at Sierra High School, having earned nearly every award the school has to offer. She is a member of ASB and a school leader, having organized Senior Sunset, serving as a DJ for the campus, and just recently coordinated a Mother’s Day event to celebrate all women at SHS. Despite being a star student in all her classes, she isn’t afraid to seek extra help in math, often arriving early for tutoring sessions to improve her skills. Her impressive list of accolades includes the PRIDE award, which recognizes students who demonstrate positive attitudes, respect, integrity, determination, and excellence. She has also received the Responsibility Award for never being tardy, as well as awards for Citizenship, Service Appreciation, and Academic Excellence. Sofia is known for her kind and compassionate nature; she never hesitates to lend a listening ear or a helping hand to anyone in need. Many students seek her out for counseling and emotional support, and she always makes time to be there for them. Sophia is attending Ventura College in the fall and plans to become an ultrasound technician. |
