Golden Bear

Warren's Golden Bear Awards honor all students for their achievement throughout a variety of academic and extracurricular areas. As we work towards developing 21st century learners, the students being recognized here are at the forefront of excellence at Warren High School. In today’s complex world, these students have developed the character and skills necessary to be successful members of society.

The students being recognized for Golden Bear are shining stars at Warren. They show great character, strong work ethic, and are focused on their education. Congratulations to all of our award winners! You are truly among Warren’s finest students. We are very proud of you and you should be proud of your accomplishment as well.

Christian Valadez

Grand Golden Bear 2020

The Grand Golden Bear is given to one student who has shown excellence in many of the categories awarded below. This is truly the highest honor. The student chosen for the Grand Golden is considered to be an overall amazing person—who is not only intelligent, but also shows good character and is driven to be the best that he or she can be each and every day.

Christian is one of the hardest working students at Warren High School. During his short time here, Christian managed to impress all teachers with his abilities. Christian is talented, caring, intuitive and focused on his pursuits. It is impressive the way he is so self-confident in his abilities without having to brag about it. Christian is a classic "what-you-see-is-what-you-get" - no pretense, no acting cool! Christian’s intelligence is matched only by his work ethic, because unlike a lot of bright students, Christian does not let focus wander and always gets everything done. Christian has the potential to do achieve anything! As he heads off to Columbia University, Warren High School will greatly miss him!
