ACCHS salutatorian Eduardo Orozco
It’s graduation season and we’re celebrating the Class of 2026 valedictorian and salutatorian for all eight Arlington ISD high schools. Meet Arlington College and Career High School salutatorian Eduardo Orozco.
〉What is one piece of advice you would give an incoming freshman?
Always have your goals in mind, and have your future and your family as priorities. That way you will never deviate away from achieving success. Especially if you are the first generation, continue working hard just as your parents have.
〉What will you miss most about high school?
The close-knit family I had at ACCHS. Since we were a small class of around 90 students, we all knew each other and always helped each other, whether that be in academics or to make our experience more fun and meaningful.
〉What are you most excited about after graduation?
Probably the thought of one day finally being able to support and provide for my own family. I believe sharing your success with your loved ones is such a beautiful gift that I wish to express with my current as well as future family.
〉Who inspires you the most and why?
God inspires me the most to always try my best and to spread more love and support to others. It is the reason why I find so much joy in giving and why my main aspirations are based around that.
〉What’s your favorite high school memory?
Easily any school activities we had at ACCHS such as our yearly field days or the Junior/Senior cookout towards the end of the school year. We are able to relax and enjoy each other’s company as well as have fun eating and playing at a park.
