In partnership with the San Marcos Chamber of Commerce, the monthly Rising Stars event honors San Marcos Unified School District student achievement.

The event is hosted at Palomar College where three high school seniors from each high school in San Marcos Unified, are honored for demonstrating character, integrity, love of learning, involvement in school and community activities and/or the ability to overcome challenging life circumstances without compromising their education.
