Welcome Encina Bulldogs, family and friends to our 2nd Annual Senior Send-Off. We would like to congratulate the Class of 2020 for all their hard work and effort that has brought them this far. We know that this school year you have faced a variety of challenges. Remember that all of these experiences have made you a stronger person.

La Raza Unida and Black Student Union Clubs would like to recognize the Senior Class of 2020 and the families, friends and teachers that have positively influenced you to get this far. Each of you have a story to tell and we know that even though the journey may have been difficult to get to graduation, you didn’t give up and you persevered. Wherever you decide to go after high school, just remember where you come from and to be proud of your roots.

La Raza Unida and Black Student Union decided to come together to celebrate this great accomplishment alongside your family and friends because statistically Latinos and African American students graduate at low rates. This is a very proud moment, not only for Seniors, but for all the people that have supported you throughout this journey.

Once again, we would like to congratulate the Class of 2020! Even though we are living unprecedented times with all the chaos in the world, we hope this day is extra special for you. Always remember that you have your Encina family supporting you.

Best of luck,

Elvira Alonso, Kimberly Arrington and Maricela Luviano
