Buckeye Union High School proudly welcomed home one of its own this Memorial Day as Class of 1993 alum and current Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps Carlos A. Ruiz returned to campus to visit with our JROTC students and staff.

From the classroom to the air rifle range, students had the incredible opportunity to engage with a leader whose journey began right here at BUHSD before going on to serve our nation at the highest levels of the United States Marine Corps.

At BUHSD, we take pride in preparing students for their β€œNEXT” - and Sergeant Major Ruiz’s story is a powerful reminder that Buckeye students continue to accomplish extraordinary things.
