Principal Paige’s latest alumni interview is with Tak Sugimoto, class of ’45.

Imagine: a Japanese-American returning from the Poston Relocation Center to graduate with his classmates in June of 1945, only a few months before the formal surrender of Japan.

What everyone did at the graduation ceremony when Tak’s name was called is amazing, considering the times. Only at San Dieguito!
