It is with great pride that we announce the Class of 2026 Top Ten Seniors. 

Congratulations to Valedictorian Madalena Balisciano, Salutatorian Adeline Ayers, Tessa Rodwell, Brandon Parsons, Sydney Boda, Devin Cunningham, Grace Hopkins, Riley Englert, Maggie Reissig, and Joselyn Hulme. 

“All of the students who make up our Top Ten this year are a fantastic representation of what it means to be a Golden Knight. They are musicians, athletes, artists, travelers, and most importantly, role models for all of the students and adults they are surrounded by here at York. The years of hard work, sacrifice, and relentless consistency have certainly built lifelong learning habits that will take them far beyond these walls. On behalf of everyone at York Central, we thank these students for always modeling our best characteristics as a school, and personally, I would like to thank this great group of seniors for being the first I have worked with here at York. We take great pride in their accomplishments and in calling them ours,” commented Middle/High School Principal Mr. Charles Passarell.

With just a short time left in the 2026 school year, we know these students have more accomplishments yet to fulfill, more efforts to leave on the field, more talents to share on the stage, and more learning to acquire in their classes. 

Commencement will take place on Saturday, June 27, 2026, at 11 a.m. in the Ivan F. Hilfiker Auditorium.
