Maribel Sandoval has faced more instability than most students experience in a lifetime. After bouncing between schools and struggling without proper support, she returned to Holtville High determined to catch up. With the help of caring educators and a stable home, Maribel made it her mission to walk across the stage with her graduating class of 2025. She committed to summer school, worked tirelessly, and in June, proudly earned her diploma. The first in her immediate family to complete high school, Maribel will attend Valley College in the fall, where she plans to study criminology or forensic science.
