Name: Karis Kim
School: South High School Class of 2024
Award: Best All Around Student
“Karis was always a very organized student with amazing writing skills. She always went the extra mile to fully complete her assignments which made them true masterpieces. She was also a quiet thinker and very kind to everyone.” - Mrs. Bond
Name: Hina Kurono
School: Torrance High School Class of 2024
Award: Academic Achievement
“I’m so impressed by the accomplishments she has made since she left Hickory. Hina was always responsible and respectful while she was a student here at Hickory. She always strived to achieve high goals, and was a great Room 15 student. I know her future holds great things for her. I wish her all the best!” - Mrs. LoGrande
Name: Maya Okada
School: Torrance High School Class of 2024
Award: Community Involvement
“As a fifth grade student in my first class at Hickory Elementary, Maya left a lasting impression on me, as she was a very bright, talented, and creative young lady who always went above and beyond. She was kind to everyone, helpful to myself and her classmates, and had a great sense of humor (I could always count on her to get my jokes, too!). Maya had all the qualities of a role model and leader all those years ago, and I have no doubt that she continues to be that and so much more as she prepares to graduate high school and attend the college of her choosing. I wish her all the best and am certain that she is destined for great things in all areas of her life! - Mrs. Sardisco
