House of His Creation (HOHC) is a Christian-based nonprofit mission and maternity home helping women such as Abby Hendricks. Hendricks is a 21-year-old mom to Mateo, a 17-month-old bundle of joy born during Abby's 10-month stay at HOHC from July of 2024 through April of 2025.

"They were very caring and kind, and they always wanted what was best for us," said Hendricks of the staff at HOHC. "When I first moved in, I was the first mom there. Then after that another mom moved in, and then another mom moved in. Their situations were similar to mine."

Owen J. Roberts (OJR) High School held its 2026 graduation ceremony on June 5, feature words and stories from valedictorian Alejandro Vidal, class salutatorian Sohun Bandyopadhyay, executive council president Vansh Agarwal and senior class director Ben Herreda spoke to their peers.

"I want you to board that plane and make that leap, no matter how uncomfortable it feels," Vidal said. "Because sometimes, the most important moments in life happen off-script. When you look back on your life, you'll never regret the opportunities you took advantage of, only the ones you missed."
