In March, Paz Arguello, a Golden Valley class of 2022 graduate, was accepted to the University of Oxford Reuben College, for an accelerated one-year master’s of science program in medical anthropology beginning this fall. (The Signal covers the rest of her amazing story here.)
She also graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, a year and a half early with a bachelor’s degree in legal studies, and double minor in disability studies and political economy.
Golden Valley High School freshman Dieter Ignacio is in his happy place. Sitting in a classroom on campus with a big smile on his face, Ignacio reminisced on a debut swim campaign that saw him make new friends and compete in the sport that he loves — all at his home school.
He said there was some pressure to go elsewhere for school due to his pedigree at Canyons Aquatics Club, but the idea of lifting the sport up at Golden Valley felt like the better call.
“I really wanted to be able to represent this school and to prove that, you know, one school doesn’t have to dominate,” Ignacio said.
