Most Inspiring Student - Jose Barragan Solano
This year Avalon selected Jose Barragan Solano as our Most Inspiring Student.
Jose is an exceptional young man; an inspiration who shows others that with hard work, dedication, determination and a positive attitude great things can be accomplished. Maintaining an incredibly busy schedule he does an amazing job balancing academics, athletics, extra-curricular activities, and work, always with a smile on his face. Jose learned English as a second language in an astonishingly short period of time, and has used his language skills as a spring board for other academic and professional pursuits. He even earned a place as one of our Co-Valedictorians this year. Jose strives to learn, and shares what he has learned with others. He is a great debater and eloquent speaker with a witty sense of humor. He has a genuine spirit of giving and caring and it really shows both at school and in our small community. Congratulations to Jose Barragan and all of the other Inspiring students
