Oceanside Students Honored At April Rising Star Program: RECAP

OCEANSIDE, CA — The Oceanside Chamber of Commerce hosted the April Rising Star student recognition program for the 2021/2022 school year at the El Camino Country Club last week.

The Oceanside Chamber's Rising Star Program aims to champion students that have overcome significant challenges in their life but have managed to keep or get back on track, with their education. The Chamber honors one high school senior each month from each of our area high schools at a breakfast event.

Speakers at the event included Scott Ashton, CEO, Oceanside Chamber of Commerce; Mayor Esther Sanchez; OUSD Superintendent Dr. Julie Vitale. The Principals from Surfside Academy, Oceanside High School and El Camino High School introduced the Rising Star high school senior for each of their schools.

During the event, the school principals, the student's parents and mentoring teachers shared what set the student apart and provided examples of their character, integrity, passion, focus and perseverance that has made them such a Rising Star on their campus and in our community.

April 2022 Rising Star honorees were:

Jasmine Perez (Surfside Educational Academy)
Maya Juache (Oceanside High School)
Ariyan Perdue (El Camino High School)
