Beverly Hills High School announced that Daniel Salkin, a standout member of the class of 2025, will be attending the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Salkin will major in computer engineering at one of the nation’s top-ranked engineering programs.

Over the past four years, Salkin dove headfirst into nearly every facet of campus life – symphonic band, wrestling, advanced culinary arts, robotics and theater stage design – leaving his mark in every space he entered. He also served as president of MORTORQ, the school’s award-winning Robotics Team, where he guided peers through the Robotics Capstone class with innovation, determination and collaborative spirit.

From programming robots and designing theatrical sets to crafting gourmet dishes in advanced culinary arts, Salkin brought thoughtfulness, focus and heart to all he pursued, while balancing a rigorous AP course load.

“Daniel’s passion, balance and perseverance have been truly inspiring to witness,” BHHS Principal Drew Stewart said.
