Yesterday after school our very own Gabriela Rivas Signed to Waldorf University in Forest City Iowa, to compete as a Wrestler and take her talents to a new level. Many students and staff were there to support Gabriela on her big accomplishment and have a celebratory slice of cake! In addition to wrestling, she plans to study Education with a minor in English. Gabriela has left her mark on Panthers Girls’ wrestling and PV for she is a varsity starter and earned All CIF and ALL League honors throughout her high school years.

When asked about her feelings about her big accomplishment, she had many to thank such as her Mom and Mr. Ellac, “It means the world to me because I never thought I’d have this opportunity,’’ she said. “It makes me so proud especially because I’m a first generation college student. I selected Waldorf because it had a home-like feel that I didn’t get while visiting other campuses and that made my choice much easier.’’

All our students and staff wish her the best of luck as she continues to work hard in college, Congratulations Gabriela!
