Aaron Brooks, Coronado High School’s athletic director, introduced the top student athletes for the class of 2025, chosen by the athletic department, at Coronado Rotary Club’s luncheon meeting at the Coronado Yacht Club on May 7.
Every head coach voted for seniors who positively represented the school’s athletic program in their respective sports.
Proud parents and rotarians listened to the academic and athletic achievements of the students. Sharon Raffer, a rotarian, said words like friendship, integrity, grit, growth, pride and grace under pressure characterize these talented and hardworking athletes of the class of 2025.
