Dublin High School Senior Awards Night Class of 2017: “I am Dublin High”

DUBLIN, CA–Dublin High School’s annual Senior Awards Night filled the Dublin High School Athletic Complex with students, parents, educators and members of the community. Over $4.0 million in scholarships and awards were presented to Dublin High School Class of 2017 students for their academic achievements, including over 55 merit scholarships for colleges nationwide and a U.S. Air Force ROTC Scholarship awarded to Joseph Liu and a U.S. Army ROTC Scholarship awarded to Alexi Spooner.

Included in the event was the traditional passing of the gavel ceremony where outgoing senior and student body president Jennifer Dyer introduced incoming student body president Liliana Ogden.

Students were recognized for academic achievements across a wide variety of subjects and interests (full list below) and one student, senior Cedric Le, received the Best Attendance Award for not missing a single day of school throughout all four years of high school. The Dublin High School Class of 2017 also featured eight National Merit Scholarship finalists and one National Merit Scholarship winner.

OneDublin.org prepared the eigth annual edition of the popular “I am Dublin High” video (see below) featuring 144 Dublin High School Class of 2017 seniors sharing their post-high school plans.
