🎉 Bengal Nation, meet senior Rebecca D.! 🎓

Rebecca began her journey at Brooks Estrella in kindergarten with Mrs. Salas as her very first teacher and has been part of the Somerset Academy Brooks family since 4th grade. 💙 She’s currently on track to earn her Associate of Science degree from Palo Alto College and will graduate from PAC in Spring 2026 — before graduating high school! 👏

A true leader on and off the field, she’s deeply involved in sports, academics, and campus life. She plays volleyball, wrestling, soccer, and softball, is an active member of the National Honor Society, and proudly serves as the Class of 2026 Treasurer. 🏐🤼⚽🥎

We’re thrilled to share that she has been accepted into Abilene Christian University and has been awarded the John C. Stevens Award for Academic Excellence, a prestigious $80,000 merit-based scholarship. 🎓✨ She plans to major in Interior Architecture and bring her creative vision to life.

Her dream? To design and build spaces that people will love — and one day, her very own dream home. 🏡

She shares a heartfelt thank you to all the amazing coaches, teachers, family, and friends who have supported her along the way. 💛

Rebecca has chosen to share a piece of scripture that is meaningful to her, especially in this season of her life: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” — Jeremiah 29:11
