BHHS Senior Eliana Naydavood Commits to UC Davis

Beverly Hills High School senior Eliana Naydavood will attend the University of California, Davis, where she plans to major in Animal Science, BHUSD announced as part of its College Decisions Series.

A member of the Class of 2026, Naydavood began her BHUSD journey in kindergarten at Hawthorne and has gone on to build a record of leadership, academics and campus involvement throughout her years in the district.

At Beverly Hills High School, her leadership has been most visible through four years in the Associated Student Body, culminating in her role as Student Body President. BHUSD said she helped lead many of the school’s major campus events and initiatives, including pep rallies and other activities aimed at strengthening student engagement and school spirit.

Naydavood has also built a strong academic path in science and animal care. She completed all courses in the Medical Science Academy and is currently enrolled in Biomedical Innovations, the program’s capstone course.

Beyond the classroom, she serves as co-president of BHHS Paws for a Cause, a club focused on supporting and advocating for animals. She also volunteers at a veterinary clinic, gaining hands-on experience as she prepares for a future career in veterinary medicine.

“Eliana exemplifies the spirit of leadership and compassion that defines our BHHS community,” said Loan Sriruksa, Principal of Beverly Hills High School. “From leading the student body to pursuing her passion for animal care and science, she has made a meaningful impact on campus. We are excited to see all that she will accomplish at UC Davis and beyond.”

“Congratulations to Eliana, our outstanding Student Body President, on her admission to a University of California campus,” said Judith Manouchehri, President of the Beverly Hills Unified School District Board of Education. “Eliana truly exemplifies the values we strive to cultivate in the Beverly Hills Unified School District: academic excellence, leadership, and a deep commitment to her school community, and we could not be more proud of her achievement.”

As she prepares for college, Naydavood leaves Beverly Hills High School with a record defined by service, leadership and a clear sense of purpose, carrying those experiences with her to one of the nation’s leading universities for veterinary and agricultural studies.
