HEAD OF THE CLASS: ORESTIMBA HIGH SCHOOL

DOREEN DYT

ANA FUENTES

SARITA TELLO

MAXWELLE TARTAGLIA

CORINA CHICO


Five students lead Orestimba Class of 2020

NEWMAN - Five Orestimba High seniors

will graduate at the head of the

Class of 2020.

Doreen Dyt, Ana Fuentes, Sarita Tello

and Maxwelle Tartaglia are co-valedictorians.

Corina Chico is the salutatorian.

DOREEN DYT

Dyt said her overall experience at

Orestimba went well beyond academic

achievement, helping hone leadership

skills and reinforcing the importance of

serving others.

Dyt, whose older sister Callista was

the Orestimba salutatorian during her

sophomore year, said being at the top of

her class was a goal.

She said her parents, Rich and Jacquie

Dyt, emphasized the importance of education

in broadening future horizons.

Dyt took that advice to heart, and worked

hard to be able to attend the college of

her choice - Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.

“My parents instilled in me pretty

young that academics are very important,”

Dyt shared, adding that she appreciated

the educational opportunities

afforded her.

“Not everybody gets a free K-12 education,”

she pointed out.

Dyt was involved in a number of activities

at Orestimba. She was active in student

council, serving as class president

during her sophomore and junior years

and executive student body president as

a senior. She was also heavily involved

in FFA, serving as chapter president as a

senior, and belonged to Interact and the

Adventure Club. She played volleyball

and tennis as well.

Outside her school activities, Dyt has

been involved in Newman 4-H and is the

reigning Miss Newman.

“I loved our small school vibe,” she

said of her Orestimba experience.

“School spirit was really fun, especially

my senior year. I also loved that, going to

Orestimba, I had the opportunity to be in

so many clubs and organizations.”

Raised on a family dairy, Dyt’s passion

for agriculture has helped shape her

career goals. She will major in ag business

and hopes to add a political science

minor.

Dyt said she plans to pursue a career

which allows her to be an advocate for

agriculture.

“I find my passion in fighting for farmers,”

she shared. “I have a huge passion

for the ag industry, and it is definitely

something I want to pursue.”

ANA FUENTES

Fuentes, the daughter of Victor and

Maria Fuentes, said she has long been

driven to succeed academically.

“I am motivated by making my parents

proud. I always looked forward to going

to college,” she shared. “I really like

learning. I just like to know a lot of facts.

I like to know what goes on in the world.”

Her activities at Orestimba included

FFA, Interact, PHAST (Protecting Health

and Slamming Tobacco) and, during her

senior year, student council. She was senior

class secretary.

“It was something I never

thought I would do,” Fuentes said

of her student council experience.

“I decided to run just to

break out of my shell more,

and I really enjoyed it.”

Student council

and

FFA both

helped

Fuentes

further

her communication

skills, she

said, which

will benefit

her in the

future.

Fuentes

said she has

also learned

to better handle

stress and

manage her

time while at

Orestimba.

While she was

disappointed at

losing the opportunity

to take part

in many traditional

senior year activities

due to the school closure,

Fuentes said she is trying to keep that in

perspective.

“We still worked really hard and did it,

and we got our diploma,” she pointed out.

“We still have our future ahead of us.”

For Fuentes, that future will start with

attending Stanislaus State, where she will

major in psychology.

SARITA TELLO

Tello’s parents encouraged their children

to pursue dreams of a higher education.

“Education was always important in

my family,” said Tello, the daughter of

Cecilia and Saul Tello. “They wanted

their kids to go to college.”

She was also motivated by close bonds

with older brother Saul Tello Jr., who

was valedictorian of the Orestimba Class

of 2012.

“I always just wanted to excel the most

I can to make my family proud,” Tello

shared. “I have always had an inside joke

with him that I was his twin. He told me

that he would accept me as his twin if I

was also valedictorian. That was a big

motivation for me.”

On campus, Tello has been involved

in the Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) and

PHAST club. She also worked as an after-school

program leader at Bonita and

Hunt schools.

Tello said friendships forged at Orestimba

and the support of her teachers

made her high school years

a growth experience.

“I didn’t expect to

meet the type of

people that I did.

I felt so much

more comfortable

and

happy,” she

commented.

“I feel happy

with who

I am and

became.

I used to

be really

shy. It

was hard

to talk

to other

people, but

because of

teachers and

friends I have

become more outgoing

without fear of

being judged.”

Tello plans to attend San Diego State

and major in finance, with the goal of

becoming an accountant, budget analyst

or similar professional.

She said the logic-based nature of

mathematics suits her.

“I have always been good with numbers

and math,” Tello explained.

MAXWELLE TARTAGLIA

Like her fellow valedictorians, Tartaglia

is motivated academically and encouraged

by supportive parents.

Tartaglia, the daughter of Jeanette

Kobak-Tartaglia and George Tartaglia,

said her mother made sure that she knew

how to read and write going into kindergarten,

helping set the foundation for

academic success.

While her parents have always been

supportive and encouraging, Tartaglia

said, she is also extremely self-motivated.

While she kept a focus on academics,

saying that she took a business-like approach

to high school with grades and

college opportunities a constant goal,

Tartaglia was also involved in GSA,

Sports Club and Gaming Club at Orestimba.

She also appeared in Newman-Crows

Landing Unified School District Musical

Theatre productions of “Newsies” and

“The Wedding Singer.”

Through high school, Tartaglia reflected,

she grew from positive friendships

and learned from those which were not

healthy.

“The people who I met really shaped

who I am today, whether it was a good

friendship or a bad friendship,” she

shared. “I learned what I liked. I learned

what I would not stand for. Even if there

is a bad experience with a person, you

learn from that experience.”

Tartaglia plans to attend Cal State

Monterey Bay. She has not declared a

major, deciding instead to initially keep

her options open.

CORINA CHICO

Chico, the Class of 2020 salutatorian, is

the daughter of Josie and Bill Chico.

She said she views education as essential

to her future.

“I want to make sure that I have a secure

future for myself. That is what my

parents instilled in me,” Chico stated. “I

want to be self-sufficient.”

At Orestimba, Chico has been involved

in FFA, PHAST, Interact and Warriors

for Christ.

Chico said she strove to remain at the

top of her class. But, she explained, she

views academics more a matter of meeting

and exceeding her personal expectations

than competition with other students.

Chico is an avid reader and journals

regularly. “I like to have memories to

look back on. I value that kind of thing,”

said Chico.

Her years at Orestimba boosted her

self-confidence, Chico shared, including

the confidence to take the AP courses

which she initially found intimidating.

“I learned that anything I put my mind

to I can do,” the salutatorian commented.

“I have God by my side, and I am not going

to let that go.”

She will attend Stanislaus State, and

plans to become an English teacher.

“I could see myself doing that and enjoying

myself,” Chico explained. “I would

rather do that and love what I do than

make a bunch of money and hate what

I’m doing.”

Her years at Orestimba were enjoyable

and will always be remembered.

“No matter where I go I will always

have my roots in Orestimba,” Chico reflected.

“I can’t forget where I come

from.”

Martinez, Travis stand at head of the GHS Class of 2020

MARIO MARTINEZ

JULIA TRAVIS

GUSTINE - Two students with a number

of similar traits stand at the head of

the Gustine High Class of 2020.

Mario Martinez is the class valedictorian.

Julia Travis is the salutatorian.

Each started their schooling at Our

Lady of Miracles Catholic School before

moving to Gustine Elementary in the upper

elementary grade levels.

Each plans to attend UC Berkeley.

Each has long been driven to excel academically,

with the goal of graduating at

the top of their class.

Each has parents who instilled the value

of education in their children.

Each envisions a career path in the

medical field - although in different specialties.

MARIO MARTINEZ

Martinez, the class valedictorian, said

he was motivated in large part by the

hard work and sacrifices of his parents,

Leticia and Mario Martinez.

“I am trying to make the most of the

opportunity I am given to make them

proud,” said the valedictorian.

Throughout high school, Martinez reflected,

he stayed focused on his academic

goals, often staying at home to study

while his friends went out.

Being valedictorian was a primary

goal, he told Mattos Newspapers.

“The satisfaction of having straight A’s

kept me going,” said Martinez, who said

he took all the AP courses he could. “My

senior year I got to experience more social

life, so it balanced out.”

Through his years at Gustine High,

Martinez was involved in track, band,

ASB, Interact, Spanish Club and Regal

Reds - a movie club he and Travis were

involved in forming as juniors.

Band was a favorite part of high school,

said Martinez, who played trumpet. He

hopes to play in the UC Berkeley marching

band as well.

In addition to his musical pursuits,

Martinez enjoys drawing and painting.....

all outlets for his creativity.

Martinez plans to major in bio-engineering,

with the goal of a career in the

research and development of new medicines.

helped influence the decision, he shared.

“Science is making a difference in people’s

lives,” Martinez reflected.

He said he enjoyed the small-school

environment at Gustine High.

“I think it makes for a very inclusive

community,” Martinez commented.

And from the small, rural school, he

said, students can chart whatever future

they choose.

“Where you come from doesn’t affect

how far you can go,” Martinez said.

JULIA TRAVIS

Travis was equally motivated to

achieve academically.

“School was a big emphasis in my

household. It has been very important

to me,” said the salutatorian, who is the

daughter of Lisa and Jeremy Travis. “I

have so much support from my family, I

feel that it is my responsibility to use that

support and turn it into something great.”

Travis said she gave up some activities

to devote herself to her education, but

said she was grateful for having done so.

“It was all worth those sacrifices,” she

reflected.

Travis said she came to Gustine High

intent on being valedictorian or salutatorian

- and understanding that to reach

that goal she must achieve from the outset.

“You have to go in with that mindset,”

she commented.

Travis said one of her most valuable

accomplishments at Gustine High was

learning Spanish. She took Spanish courses

throughout high school.

Travis did not only flourish academically

at Gustine High.

She was active in student leadership at

Gustine High and involved in the school’s

ASB throughout her four years on campus.

Her ASB involvement began as an

eighth-grader, Travis noted, and further

flourished at Gustine High.

Those skills were further developed by

her role as a cabin leader for sixth-grade

camp and summer camp groups at Green

Meadows Outdoor School and by participating

in a Rotary-sponsored leadership

program, she noted.

“I grew those (leadership) skills

so much more in high school,” she remarked.

Now, Travis looks to her future with

plans to major in nutritional sciences and

eventually become a doctor - possibly a

pediatrician.

She finds the medical field fascinating.

“I couldn’t see myself doing anything

else,” Travis said.
