Benicia High School honors over 70 students at historic National Honor Society induction
The Benicia High School Class of 2025 made history during their graduation ceremony on June 7, 2025, with a series of remarkable achievements celebrated by faculty and peers alike. Over 70 students were inducted into the National Honor Society, an event organized entirely by the student board, showcasing the leadership and teamwork of students like Justin Magno and Maya Chakravarti.

In a groundbreaking first, the school awarded the California State Seal of Civic Engagement, with seniors Joanna Toledano and Roxanne Bernatje Nunez leading a project that positively impacted the community. The ceremony highlighted the accomplishments of the graduating class, with 70 seniors earning Principal Scholar honors for maintaining a cumulative GPA over 4.0 throughout their high school careers.

Recognition continued as 28 students received the National Honor Society stole, 19 earned the AP Capstone diploma—more than double last year's count—and 29 seniors were awarded the California Biliteracy Seal. Additionally, 132 students achieved the California Golden State Seal merit diploma, and many wore cords indicating completion of Career and Technical Education pathways.

The ceremony also honored those enlisting in military service and celebrated the achievements of seven seniors who attained the rank of Eagle Scout this year. Special recognition was given to a team of four seniors who competed at the KidWind World Championships, earning the Rookie of the Year award for their wind turbine project.

The debate team maintained its prestigious standing among the nation's top 30 programs, with seniors Cozette Calderon and Daniel Delgado ranking twelfth in the nation, securing a spot at the National Tournament of Champions. The accomplishments of the Class of 2025 not only reflect individual excellence but also the collective spirit and dedication of the Benicia High School community.
