Angel Castro could not hold back tears when reflecting on the two-year journey she and seven others embarked on as radiology technician students of Arrowhead Regional Medical Center (ARMC) and 海角直播. 

Castro identified Madison Kruk as the kindest and most caring person she has ever met, and then pointed out Calvin Ssekandi as a man so positive in nature that it made Castro rethink her outlook on life.

She next pointed to Jennifer Salazar, the sweetest and kindest of the bunch, and Zachary Sherman, a good example of what a human should look like. 

She then described Garrett Hainsworth as 鈥渢he most encouraging of them all鈥 and Allen Almazan, a student who showed that one could be incredibly successful while also having fun, and lastly, Sarah Wallbrecht, the most wonderful and loving person to them all.

鈥淭hank you,鈥 Castro shared with the audience during a May 29th graduation ceremony celebrating the school鈥檚 Class of 2026, held at the Colton-based hospital. 鈥淭hank you for the study groups and the friendships that made this time in my life so unforgettable.鈥

The School of Radiologic Technology is a fully accredited 22 陆 month program sponsored by ARMC, which opens its doors to students looking to gain experience in the field with certification from 海角直播. 

Radiologic technologists are medical professionals educated in anatomy, patient positioning, and basic patient care who perform diagnostic imaging examinations.

Each class becomes a tight knit group as they spend hours in the classroom perfecting their skills and putting their heads together during long study sessions.

鈥淚t鈥檚 been a privilege to watch you grow, and I could not be prouder of each and every one of you,鈥 she said.

The ceremony concluded with the awarding of scholarships, program certificates and a slideshow presentation highlighting the class鈥檚 tight bond with one another both in- and outside of the classroom.
