My name is Marley Campbell Dieter and I am honored to stand here as your 2026 class valedictorian. I have been a part of ASDB for 13 years. I first came here when I was 5 years old and shortly after I moved into the dorm. At that time, I didn't realize how much this school was going to change my life. Looking back, I truly believe coming to ASDB was one of the greatest blessings I could have received. Before coming here, my experience in public school was very difficult. I was often bullied by other students. I was left out and alone. And there were moments where the teachers would not include me in activities with other students. And it made school feel painful instead of welcoming. My grandmother worried about me every single day. Sometimes, she would even stay in the parking lot during school hours because she was afraid that something might happen to me or that I would struggle alone She wanted to protect me.

So, free Palestine, free Sudan, free the Congo, and free all the workers of the world. I believe in us. We can do it. We are the class of 2026, and we will change the world. I mean, would you like to make this speech less political to appeal to a wider audience? No, ChatGPT. No, I would not. Have a great night, everybody. Thank you so much. Well, thank you so much, speakers. To the class of 2026, growth often begins in the moments we did not plan for. And class of 2026, over the last 4 years, I have watched you grow, and I've had the opportunity to grow alongside you. You will always hold a special place to me as your freshman year and my first year as principal began together. I have watched you grow alongside a campus that has quite literally changed around you. Buildings have changed colors, office spaces have moved, and you've excelled while at the same time we built a new roof over our heads.

Mike Darnell, high school boys soccer volunteer assistant coach. Ford Barnfield is going to be the cross coach. And then it gets to this list of summer workers, which I will go with as presented. I want to remind the board that we when we have student summer workers, Kurt Steve's given a budget and the and they will work the hours. Having so many workers does not mean that we're going to have 20 kids there on one day. But uh we are going to have them throughout the building cuz we've got a lot of rooms that need to be moved and a lot of people that are moving into those rooms. We also have the extended school year staff. This is the extended school year for our special ed students. And you can see that long list listed there. The key parts here are we have vacancies.

But if it isn't, we will make that request if it's in students best interest. At the middle school level, you're going to see that we've invested, we've made an opposite um direction. We're actually not seeking to purchase paper textbooks and instead we're looking at a digital only. Now that may sound counterintuitive based on the reasons I just gave you for high school, but the reason is that um for middle school language arts, the digital product that we are recommending which is into literature from HMH also has assessments and those assessments can be analyzed if we use their assessments down to the standards level. As you know, iLearn goes through grade eight. So, by offering the digital product and not partnering with paper, we're saving the paper side of it and we're able to have a curricular resource that we believe is better to prioritize digital in in middle school.

Um, so we wanted to ensure that with this, a uniform time across the building 45 minutes where we can set up um, teachers who will be in charge of those labs, whether it's every day, whether it's two or three times a week. Um, they are going to be able to deliver that instruction in a way that's consistent and students are able to go straight to our flex time. I'm sure you'll talk a little bit about the program that we're going to use, but really streamline it and use that time during the day. And the exciting thing to kind of build on that, not just for those kids that need intervention, we're going to use this also as a as a motivational tool. Um students who need intervention, who are falling behind, who aren't on track to graduate, this is a great opportunity for us to give them that intervention, but what about the kids that are doing well?

Little bit of trouble. The seventh hitter, Casey Sullivan. It looks Look at her bat over there. It kind of looks like a uh A Bomb Pop, yeah. Yeah, got a Bomb Pop bat. Haven't seen that yet this season. The Bomb Pop bat, most Let's hope that she doesn't hit it. Yes. No bombs off the bat there. That's right. >> As that's a swing and a miss. A good pitch from Usariz, and it's a ball and a strike here. The other key here is is you want to try and see if you can keep this force play alive. Be great if they can get the lead runner. Uh also wouldn't be surprised if she does show bunt again. She does. That one's in the dirt, and both runners will take an extra base. Yeah, Kyra was able to keep it in front of her, thankfully, but not able to handle that wild pitch cleanly.

That actually was done and we hosted a lovely tour today of Barnum School for all those folks who would be transitioning and it was a joy to see everyone's faces as they walked around the buildings. Um we also conducted an evaluation of instructional supplies over the last 5 years to determine what we needed to box up as far as classroom libraries, science um materials, and manipulatives since we are moving 200 students out of Highland along with teachers to make sure that there's an equitable distribution of our existing instructional supplies across all of the buildings for next year. Um we were talking at that point about the Smarter Balanced assessment testing which began and is now just about concluded. The testing is concluded except for a couple of straggler students who have to take the makeups. That is our April report. You pull up the next one.

These students already had a foundation and empathy um a sense of belonging leadership education. So we knew exactly who those potential student leaders would be. So to turn those realizations into act into action, we built a framework to connect high schoolers to elementary um level students. We developed list of students to approach and then we tapped into our peer peer health educators. I think you all know and have heard of our peer health educators um led by Dan Lee who you'll hear from soon. um since they already have presentation skills, they've had experience working with the elementary level students. And I will pass it on to you. Hold on. My arrow. Did we go? Uh >> oh. My arrows. I knew it. >> There we go. >> There it is. So, as Kristen said, we had a foundation of groups of leaders that we knew we could tap into, but there's also a an entire subset of students who are the quiet leaders that might not be as involved with some of these mainstream groups and communities that we offer.

>> [laughter] >> Uh For the two people watching at home >> [laughter] >> Don't say anything. Let's see. All right, so I'm just looking to see any other changes we talked about the turf. Um I also reduced the elementary playground. Actually that was one of the projects that was approved last year and the great thing is that that's actually coming to fruition at Doolittle for this summer. They're renovating the playground which is really great, but that was $250,000. So if we put kept it at 250 then we're going to referendum. So I cut it to 240. Okay, just to be clear on the playground that's the upper one or the northwest one as compared to the southeast one? The one that if you're looking at the front of the building it's on the right. Cornwall? Yeah. Yes. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah as compared to closer to the gym.

That sentence still doesn't feel real. But before I finish, I want to thank a few very special people. First, my family who has been here every single month listening to me speak. Thank you for every sacrifice, every late night, every ride, every word of encouragement, and every moment you believed in me before I believed in myself. I would not be standing here without you guys, and I love you. To the staff of Apple Valley High School, thank you to every teacher, administrator, adviser, and mentor who helped shape me into the person I am today. I carry your impact with me. Thank you for believing in students like me and helping us find our voices. And finally, thank you to Superintendent Nelson and our ABSD school board. The work you do for this community often happens quietly and behind the scenes, but students feel it every single day.

You are the main reason Aaho unified as a B-rated school district. the academic success in our programs. ELA, math, science, social studies classes, PE, architectural drafting, soon to be construction next year, culinary arts and theater. It was you, Aaho High School baseball and softball teams making it to the state semifinals this year and to the state championship game in softball in 2024. That was you. AO high school girls volleyball team making it to the state playoffs for the first time in over 10 years. That was you. All high school cheerleaders, state champion, state. I want to repeat that. A high school cheerleaders, state champions. That was huge. And another historic achievement for everyone here to know about the Yaho High School student council sending the most students of any high school in southern Arizona. More than Tucson Unified School District, more than Ogalas, more than South Point Catholic.

Looking back now, I understand how much love and sacrifice she gave up for me. And I would not be standing here today without her support, her patience, and her strength. When I arrived here at ASDB, my life slowly began to change. For the first time, I felt accepted for who I was. I was surrounded by people who understood me, people I was able to communicate with and who encouraged me. Moving into the dorm was a huge adjustment at first, but it became a second home to me. It became a place filled with laughter and friendships, late-night conversations, memories, and lessons that I will carry with me forever. I was lucky enough to meet my two best friends here. Growing up alongside them became one of the best experiences of my life. We laughed together, we struggled through classes together, survived stressful moments, and made unforgettable memories.

At times, it may have felt unfinished, uncertain, or inconvenient. And in many ways, that mirrors high school itself. I have watched this class achieve in remarkable ways this year. From our boys tennis team bringing home a state championship to a historic run for softball to a creation of an e-sports program with amazing success. And much like this year's yearbook theme, blueprints, your class helped design what Mountain View became. You helped shape the culture of this school. You brought ideas forward. You challenged us to think differently. You stretched yourselves, your teachers, and each other. And through it all, you brought joy. What stands out most about this class is its integrity. It's not perfect, but you have such a high level of integrity in the way you support one another, how you carried yourselves, and continue moving forward even when things didn't go as planned. Because the truth is plans change.
