Top Cathedral City students honored with street naming ceremony

At 8 a.m., the intersection of Landau Boulevard and McCallum Way was named in honor of Diego Jauregui. At 8:30 a.m., the intersection of Date Palm Drive and Dave Kelley Road was named after Kimberly Rodriguez Nunez.

Rodriguez Nunez is an International Baccalaureate Diploma Program candidate, the ASB senior class president, and the Cathedral City High School student board representative. She has helped organize community events with her peers and has been an integral part of CCHS. She will attend UCLA in the fall to study psychology.

Jauregui graduated one semester early from Mt. San Jacinto High School and is currently enrolled at College of the Desert. He served as the school’s student board representative for the Palm Springs Unified School District and was a member of both the School Site Council and the esports team. He is studying culinary arts at COD and hopes to become a chef.

“It’s an honor to celebrate these two students,” said Cathedral City Mayor Nancy Ross. “High school is not always easy. It’s great to have things to work towards, to care about, to lift you up and keep you going.”
