Santiago Oliveros

Since joining Odyssey in 7th grade, Santiago Oliveros has dedicated much of his time to his twin passions: music and sports. Whether he was playing soccer with his teammates or spending his mornings at the piano, Santiago thrived in the creative and athletic communities on campus. He credits Mr. Stout as his favorite teacher, noting that the music theory he learned in class helped him significantly further his hobby of composing music in his free time.

As he prepares for graduation, Santiago admits he will deeply miss the close-knit group of friends he’s built over the years. His next chapter will take him into the Air Force, where he aims to secure a strong career and serve his country.

Madelyn Monk

Since 2015, Madelyn Monk has been a vibrant part of the Odyssey community, known for her strong faith and pride in her Filipino heritage. A talented singer with a heart for service, Madelyn dedicated herself to helping others discover the value of music by serving as an intern for all Chorus classes. She credits Mr. Neustel for helping her understand her true worth and encouraging her through every challenge, often seeing her potential even when she couldn't see it herself.

As she moves toward graduation, Madelyn will deeply miss the "printed memories" in the school halls, her theater family, and her Chorus teacher, Ms. Broom. Looking ahead, she is driven by a dual mission: professionally, she plans to earn her Bachelor's degree and become a Family Lawyer to advocate for children in broken homes. Spiritually, she aims to serve as a Youth Leader, sharing her faith and the "indescribable feeling" of a life dedicated to the Lord with the next generation.

Jiali Jiang

Since starting at the school in 9th grade, Jiali Jiang has worked diligently to overcome language barriers and build a strong foundation for a future in emergency medicine. A major highlight of Jiali’s high school experience was being accepted into a dream program for Emergency Medical Services (EMS). Jiali is deeply grateful for the unwavering support of teachers like Mr. Foster, Mrs. Copeland, Ms. Guslawski, and Ms. Jerina, who provided the language guidance and career mentorship necessary to help Jiali succeed in the USA.

As graduation approaches, Jiali will fondly miss the community of friends and teachers who made this transition possible. Looking ahead, Jiali plans to attend Valencia College to pursue a career as an EMT before advancing to become a Paramedic. Alongside these professional goals, Jiali is excited to eventually hit the road on a Kawasaki Ninja 500 and behind the wheel of a Toyota Supra.
