Class of 2026 Valedictorians
Angela
Jabbour
We’ve represented ABA in academics, arts, sports and beyond; competing, performing, volunteering, organizing, and leading. Our footprints are in the school’s records, clubs, and traditions we helped shape. Every success came from hard work and relentless effort. We didn’t wait for opportunity; we earned it through grit. For those of us here since kindergarten, we are forever grateful to the parents, teachers, and staff who guided us, believed in us, and made this moment possible.

Chilukoti
This community embraced us and gave us a true sense of belonging from the very beginning. Coming from different roots, we found strength in our diversity, gaining new perspectives, deep friendships, and building an intercultural community where everyone is welcomed, valued, and connected.
