Valley Valedictorians

Each year, high school students who lead their classes in the San Fernando, Santa Clarita and Antelope valleys are honored as valedictorians. A variety of criteria are used to choose the students, but basically, they are the best and brightest at their schools. Several of them share their thoughts as they embark on their journeys into adulthood.

Melissa Hwang, Chatsworth

School: Bishop Alemany High

GPA: 4.2

College: UC Berkeley

Career goal: pharmacologist

“I started kindergarten at Catholic school when I was 4 and would be turning 5 on Dec. 31. The school wanted me to repeat kindergarten, but my parents said no. They made a deal with the principal that I could attend first grade in the morning, then go to the kindergarten class and have playtime in the afternoon. I was happy and I would never have wanted to redo kindergarten. I’m the youngest in my high school class but it might have been a disadvantage if I wasn’t because I would not have had to work as hard. I personally tried to boost myself up so I would do better. There was never pressure from my parents. I have a group of friends and we’re always at the top of the class. We push each other.”

Scott Kleinrock, Valley Glen

School: Sherman Oaks Center for Enriched Studies

GPA: 4.18

College: UCLA

Career goal: undecided, leaning toward something in the film industry

“I’m exited about going to college, but I have mixed feelings. I have really good friends that have become like a second family. They’re all going off to other colleges so it’s going to be a weird change and a shock. UCLA is a huge school and my school is small, where everyone knows everyone. It will be nice to go to a new, bigger place. I’m looking forward to the social experience. . . . I’m pretty organized and disciplined and I have a strong academic work ethic. Both of my parents are educators and that definitely contributed to it. Also, my speech and debate coach, Ray Schafer, is the most dedicated teacher I’ve ever met. He’s inspired me in every way and pushes us to be the best people we can be.”

Michael Tseng, Sun Valley

School: John Burroughs High

GPA: 4.69

College: University of Pennsylvania

Career goal: undecided

“College is going to be a big change, but it’s not like it will be a big shock because I’ve already taken college courses. I chose the University of Pennsylvania because it’s an Ivy League school and they offered me a pretty nice financial aid package. Academically, they have a good cross enrollment program, so you can take business courses even if you’re not a business major. I’ve applied to live in the Deutsches Haus (German House), where they put beginners with students who speak fluently. . . . I’ve never really had to study. I just attend class and read the textbook. I’ve always had the dedication. You just have to do your work. It’s common sense.”

Catherine dela Cruz, North Hills

School: James Monroe High

GPA: 4.2

College: UCLA

Career goal: undecided

“When I was working on something difficult, I’d say to myself, ‘I’ve made it though the past years, what makes you think you won’t make it now?’ If you look for the answer, maybe you’ll be able to figure it out. The reward is so much more when you didn’t understand something at first. If you try to give it your best, it’s pretty hard not to get some of the stuff into your head. If you make school your priority, you’ll make time for it. I studied hard, but I was never really pressured by my parents . . . [my half-sister] Julie and I share the same room and we kid around saying, ‘You’re going to miss me next year.’ It will be different living with someone else. It will be an adjustment. A big adjustment.”

Julie Ann dela Cruz, North Hills

School: James Monroe High

GPA: 4.06

College: UC San Diego

Career goal: undecided

“We didn’t try to both be valedictorians, it just worked out that way. Even though [my half-sister and I] have only been living together since we were 12, we’re best friends. It will be good to be at different colleges because it will give us independence, but it will be harder. You won’t have someone to watch your back. School hasn’t been extremely difficult for me, but it hasn’t come easy at all. You take it one step at a time, otherwise you get overwhelmed. Being in the Law and Government Magnet taught me to appreciate law and what lawyers do, but it showed me I definitely don’t want to be one. But I have to do something that will make a difference and leave an impact.”

Following is a full list of local valedictorians, with their grade-point averages and the colleges they plan to attend.
