(VGHS) We are thrilled to celebrate Alexia Yanez, who was named the Arizona Republic Student of the Week for December 9–13. Today, December 20, is extra special because it marks Alexia’s last day with us as she achieves her goal of graduating early in December 2024! From the moment she set this goal as a freshman, Alexia has worked tirelessly to maintain exceptional grades and demonstrate the determination of a true scholar. Not only is Alexia an outstanding student, but she also inspires us all with her kindness, empathy, and maturity. Her ability to connect with and support her peers, along with her radiant smile and enthusiasm, has made a lasting impact on everyone at VGHS. We couldn’t be prouder of Alexia. She exemplifies what it means to be a Spartan.
