Dublin High School Senior Awards Night Class of 2013: “I am Dublin High”

Dublin High School’s annual Senior Awards Night filled the Dublin High Student Union with students, parents, educators and members of the community. More than $2,400,000 in scholarships and awards were presented to Dublin High School Class of 2013 students for their academic achievements, including over 30 merit scholarships for colleges nationwide.

Included in the event was the traditional passing of the gavel ceremony where outgoing senior and student body president Manuel Rubio (attending Oklahoma State University on a scholarship) introduced incoming student body president Luke Legins.

The Dublin High School Class of 2013 Valedictorian Malina Jiang was named a National Merit Scholarship Finalist, among multiple awards, and is attending Stanford University. Among the many seniors winning awards, Steven Choi was recognized with a special presentation by a representative of the Air Force Academy. Over 12,000 applicants competed for a position in the Academy and less than 10% were accepted.

OneDublin.org prepared the fourth annual edition of the popular “I am Dublin High” video (see below) featuring 85 Dublin High School Class of 2013 seniors sharing their post-high school plans (in under 6 minutes). The full list of colleges that offered admission to Dublin High Class of 2013 seniors, which includes Stanford, Brown, Duke, Purdue, US Air Force Academy, every University of California (UC), every CSU campus and many more is available here.
