A brilliant 18-year-old girl named Brooklyn Moore-Champion has made history at Ontario Christian High School, California, after graduating as valedictorian with an outstanding 4.60 grade point average.
With her outstanding performance, she became the first African-American student to earn the title in the school’s 80-year history.
Brooklyn's Story and How She Did It
Brooklyn not only achieved remarkable success as a high school student, but her excellence went beyond. Alongside her diploma, she also earned two Associate degrees from Chaffey Junior College, a rare accomplishment achieved before even completing high school.
Her dedication to learning and consistent excellence earned her top honors and admiration from both students and faculty.
Reflecting on her achievement, Brooklyn said she was aware of her school’s demographics, where only 1% of students were Black, and felt inspired to make history.
“It felt so good. I’m so glad I was able to encourage younger classmates to strive for that honor. A couple of my friends were motivated after my name was called and were inspired by my accomplishment,” she said.
Brooklyn has been accepted into the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where she plans to major in Labor Studies and minor in Sociology.
Her long-term goal is to become a family court judge, advocating for children and families in difficult situations.
“I have a passion for kids and helping children in dysfunctional homes. I want to make sure kids are being treated right and put in better homes — in safe places,” she said.
