Juan Murillo
Yankee Hill Educational Center
12th Grade
Nominated By: Principal Laura Runge
Even though at times high school graduation seemed unimaginable for him, Juan's story is a true example of how resiliency can help you achieve anything. Juan’s determination to graduate has been an inspiration to both staff and students at Yankee Hill. Through major life events, multiple challenges, and anything life could throw at him, Juan continued to attend school almost daily with the goal of a high school diploma at the forefront of his mind. Juan was able to meet all of his graduation requirements in December and it is an honor for Yankee Hill knowing that he will walk in our graduation ceremony this May! The YH family couldn’t be prouder to call him one of our own!
