Irving ISD is proud to announce the top graduates from each of our high schools. Learn who each school’s valedictorian and salutatorian are, their future plans and an interesting fact about each one below.

Irving High School

Miriam Isabel Hernandez – Valedictorian

College: Texas Christian University

Major: Business

Fun Fact: I flew on a plane for the first time during my senior year, and I cannot wait to do it again and explore more of the world around me.

Sasha Lilyanna Gaviola Sumabon – Valedictorian

College: Southern Methodist University

Grace Michelle Marquez – Salutatorian

Major: Biomedical Engineering

Fun fact: I am sandwiched right in the middle of my family. I have 3 older siblings (an older brother and two older sisters) and 3 younger siblings (two younger brothers and a younger sister). I believe that this placement has directly correlated with who I have become. My older siblings passed down their knowledge just as they did their hand-me-downs, and I can help my younger siblings the same way and teach them everything I know. I owe my success directly to my family.

Valentina Romero – Valedictorian
