Orange, CA – June 13, 2019 – Students from Canyon, El Modena, Orange, Richland, and Villa Park High Schools, along with graduates from Parkside Education Center, had the once in a lifetime opportunity to graduate from Angel Stadium today. Family and friends cheered from the stands while Orange Unified’s 2,183 Class of 2019 graduates were each featured on the stadium’s LED display before taking the stage between first and second base.

Additionally, Class of 2019 students from the District’s four comprehensive high schools were honored for outstanding academic achievement, including 404 Seals of Biliteracy given to students proficient in two or more languages, 669 Golden State Seal Merit Diplomas earned by students who demonstrated mastery of at least six high school curriculum subject areas, and 764 students who completed a CTE Pathway. Each school also recognized students with the highest cumulative academic grade point average:

“Congratulations to all of our graduates! We wish them the best as they move on to the next chapter in their lives,” said Superintendent of Schools Gunn Marie Hansen, Ph.D. “We also want to recognize the contributions of our students’ families and mentors toward their academic achievements and ongoing success. Thank you for being our valued partners in education.”

Orange Unified’s graduation ceremonies took place at Angel Stadium this year because Fred Kelly Stadium is currently undergoing a $23 million renovation. The new stadium complex is scheduled to reopen in May 2020.

As they become available, photos will be uploaded into OUSD's high school alumni Facebook groups:
