The annual Latinx/Chicanx Recognition Ceremony, Honrando a Nuestros Estudiantes (Honoring Our Students), is a Los Rios district-wide event that celebrates the accomplishments of students who have earned a certificate and/or degree or are transferring to a four-year university.
2026: 17th Annual Honrando Celebration
- Wednesday, May 20, 2026
- 7:00 pm to 9:0 pm
- Hughes Stadium, Sacramento City College
This wonderful ceremony began in 2009 at Sacramento City College. Starting in 2010 Los Rios faculty and staff have come together to organize a celebration that honors our Los Rios Latinx students for completing their community college goals. It is hosted on a rotating basis throughout our district so that parents and significant others of our Latinx Community can come to our college campuses and feel the welcoming spirit and pride that we have as a District. This celebration is a demonstration of our commitment to the education and advancement of Latinx Students and to familia.
Students are encouraged to invite their family and friends to attend the ceremony, which includes cultural entertainment and a keynote speaker. A colorful sash and printed certificate are presented to each student participant as mementos of this celebration.
Our previous keynote honored speakers include Jose Hernandez, former NASA astronaut; Dolores Huerta, American labor leader and civil rights advocate; Dr. Luis A. Godoy, UC Davis Surgeon and former CRC graduate; Xavier Becerra, Attorney General of California; and Liliana Ferrer, Consul General of Mexico in Sacramento, CA.
