Rose City High School’s mascot is a phoenix rising out of ashes, and Valedictorian Aster Silverio says it’s especially apt “because the school was the setting of the arc of my redemption.”

After struggling during the pandemic, Aster felt supported at Rose City High School because it had options that fit the way she learns. She made up course credits quickly, was active in the school’s Student Leadership Board, and graduated early. She also interned at Pasadena’s Armory Center for the Arts.
Aster is still exploring careers and plans to attend Pasadena City College for two years before transferring to a four-year college. She would like to major in psychology with a minor in Philosophy and is also interested in photography, art, and animation. “My school experience made me realize that all knowledge is good knowledge. My goal is to be happy in whatever career I choose,” she says.
Congratulations you have worked very hard to graduate
Congratulations 🎉
