Senior Spotlight!
Meet Salomon Acevedo! During his time at McKenzie, Salomon played football and basketball and participated in track and field. He also built transitional houses for Eugene and Oakridge’s homeless citizens and was the Associated Student Body President (ASB).
After graduation, Salomon will attend Oregon State University, where he will study biology pre-med and kinesiology. He aspires to become an orthopedic sports medicine doctor.
Salomon’s advice to incoming students is to “Befriend everyone you can, play all the sports you’re physically capable of doing, and treat every teacher with kindness.” He also suggests keeping a digital or physical journal to document small activities and their dates. “Even if you think they are insignificant, they will mean something to you someday.”
Congratulations, Salomon!
