Dominick Rodriguez is a 15 year old Sophomore at Grand Terrace High School, where he continues to excel both academically and athletically. Maintaining an impressive 3.3 GPA, Dominick proves that hard work and dedication can balance both the classroom and the field.

Dominick has been passionate about sports since childhood and currently represents GTHS on the football field as a Defensive End and Defensive Tackle. He also competes in wrestling, demonstrating his drive and versatility as an athlete.

Outside of sports, Dominick enjoys working out, going to the gym, and spending time at church. These are activities that keep him grounded and focused.

One of his proudest achievements so far is being named Athlete of the Week, an honor that inspires him to keep pushing himself and to continue representing the Titan football program with pride.

When asked what motivates him, Dominick shared, “My parents have been the biggest influence in my life.” Their unwavering support continues to drive him toward success, both on and off the field.

Looking ahead, Dominick’s goal is to attend a Division I college and one day fulfill his dream of playing in the NFL.

His favorite scripture, “I can do all things through Christ” (Philippians 4:13), reflects his deep faith and the source of his strength.

Dominick adds, “I want to share my love for my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.”

With two more years of high school ahead, the future looks bright for this determined Titan. We wish Dominick all the best as he continues to chase his dreams, the best is yet to come!
