THE MOUNTAIN VIEWS NEWS CONGRATULATES:

ARCADIA HIGH VALEDICTORIAN 

MAX MA

Max Ma, right, AHS 
Valedictorian with Principal 
Dr. Dillman, left, after the 
announcement), earned all A’s 
for his entire high school career, 
will be attending the University 
of California, Berkeley this fall, 
pursuing a degree in Molecular 
and Cell Biology. His passion 
for biology grew throughout his 
years in Biology Olympiad, but 
with his love for political science 
and his perennial interest in 
math, he hopes to potentially 
pursue a double major, aiming 
to focus on continuing to “learn 
and expand.” 

Ultimately, Ma’s success comes 
from his “innate ability” to 
learn, as his AP US History 
Teacher and History Bowl Coach Mr. Paul Green put it, coupled with his 
enthusiastic attitude towards gaining knowledge. Green expressed that Ma has 
always been “affable, friendly, competitive (but not obnoxiously so),” and that 
he “loves to learn.” It’s the genuine love of learning that Ma hopes to inspire 
in his peers; as he puts it, “learning never ends,” and one’s reason and motive 
for learning always takes precedence over any accomplishment, even the title of 
Valedictorian.
