Dublin High School Senior Awards Night Class of 2014: “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. Nearly $1.5 million in scholarships and awards were presented to Dublin High School Class of 2014 students for their academic achievements, including over 30 merit scholarships for colleges nationwide and a U.S. Air Force ROTC Scholarship awarded to senior Ryland Lyons valued at $180,000.

Dublin High School Prinicipal Carol Shimizu, “Tonight’s award ceremony celebrates the academic achievement of dedicated students who have attained the high expectations they set for themselves. This event culminates four years of hard work. To date, tonight’s recipients have received a grand total of $1,454,320.00 in scholarship money. This figure includes community, national, and collegiate awards. Tonight also honors 18 years of parenting that has enabled these students to be successful.”

Included in the event was the traditional passing of the gavel ceremony where outgoing senior and student body president Luke Legins (attending Cal Poly San Luis Obispo) introduced incoming student body president Tatiana Bouri.

The Dublin High School Class of 2014 featured five National Merit Scholarship finalists including Kimberli Zhong and Jennifer Lee who will both be attending the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

Students were recognized for academic achievements across a wide variety of subjects and interests (full list below) and one student, senior Patrick DeClercq, received the Perfect Attendance award for not missing a single day of school throughout all four years of high school.

OneDublin.org prepared the fifth annual edition of the popular “I am Dublin High” video (see below) featuring over 110Dublin High School Class of 2014 seniors sharing their post-high school plans.
