Cinco’s is proud to celebrate and recognize the incredible achievements of its graduating seniors.

Katie Everest and Lilyana Tellez (Dover High School), Brielle Tweed (Coe Brown Northwood Academy), Samantha Skaggs and Natalie Young (Spaulding High School), and  Lauren Ouellet   (University of New Hampshire).

“Our graduating seniors are more than just employees, they’re part of Cinco’s family,” said Erin Tellez, Business and Finance Manager of Cinco’s Cantina. “We’re excited to see what they do next, and we’ll always be cheering them on wherever life takes them.”

These young individuals have balanced the demands of school, work, and life with dedication and responsibility. Their commitment to excellence both in and out of the restaurant is a reflection of the spirit and values we hold dear at Cinco’s Cantina.

Katie graduated from Dover High School and has brought enthusiasm, a positive attitude, and a strong work ethic to our team. We’ve enjoyed watching her grow and develop her skills, and we’re confident she’ll bring that same dedication and curiosity when she attends Rutgers University in the fall.

During her junior year at Dover High School, Lilyana made the bold decision to live, work, and study in Mexico, an experience that enriched her education and deepened her connection to her cultural roots. Lilyana will attend Great Bay Community College in the fall.

A dedicated scholar and ranked 4th in her class, Brielle successfully maintained a perfect 4.0 GPA throughout all four years at Coe Brown Academy. She is a proud member of both the National Honor Society and the National Spanish Honor Society, reflecting her commitment to excellence in academics, service, and cultural engagement. 

Graduated 35th in her class at Spaulding High School, Samantha is a dedicated member of the Spanish Honor Society and has shown exceptional commitment as a student-athlete, participating in both soccer and track & field. Her drive, teamwork, and leadership make her a valued member of our team and a bright example of what hard work can achieve.

Natalie is a standout student who admirably maintained a 4.0 GPA or higher throughout all four years at Spaulding High School. Her dedication to academic excellence and passion for learning have been truly inspiring. This fall, Natalie will continue her educational journey at Saint Joseph’s College, where she plans to pursue a double major in Psychology and Art. 

Lauren graduated from the University of New Hampshire. During her time at UNH, Lauren was an active and engaged student, serving as a member of Chi Omega, the ASL Club, and as a peer advocate at the SHARPP Center, supporting survivors and promoting awareness. Her passion for helping others continues as she prepares to pursue a master’s degree in Counseling and Art Therapy.
