Mojave High School

We asked Nathan to speak at graduation, he did a great job. Here is part of his speech to for us to reflect on today. "Remember it is not the destination that defines us, but the journey we undertake to reach it. The true value of our education lies not in the diploma we receive today, but in the person we have become along the way- the values we have embraced , friendships we have made and the experiences that have helped shape who we are."

It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of Nathan Gutierrez, a 2024 grad. In the short time he was a Coyote, Nathan made a significant impact. As our ASB President, he led with a genuine desire to serve his peers, was a fierce competitor in sports, and someone who truly enjoyed giving back to the school. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and all who knew him during this incredibly difficult time.
