It’s a rarity when the valedictorian of any graduating class is not present, especially now with graduations and promotions being held in person, but this was the case for Hopwood Middle School 2022 promoting class valedictorian Mark Ryan Ortizo Costales, who is currently off island attending his sister’s college graduation in the U.S. mainland.

Costales gave a pre-recorded valedictorian speech to his fellow 179 classmates while his award was presented to his father and his aunt. Costales was online on his aunt’s phone and was shown his awards being received by his aunt and father.

The class salutatorian was Hayden Romeo Igisomar who also received the Commissioner of Education Award.

The Principal’s Leadership Award was presented to Zack Itibus Camacho.

The Social Studies award was presented to Costales and Jun Hirase Zhang.
