Delgado-Juarez has been an outstanding and active student at Moore Haven.  She is Class Salutatorian, the Student Government Association President, and the Senior Class President, and has held various other offices throughout high school.  She is also a member of Future Business Leaders of America, HOSA-Future Healthcare Professionals, Florida SouthWestern State College Student Government, the Yearbook, and Beta Club.  She was also a member of the cross country team and is an avid weight lifter.

VTSU Lyndon women;s soccer coach Zach Blaser believes that Delgado-Juarez can be an anchor to his defense.  "I am extremely excited to welcome Aracely to Lyndon and it's soccer program.  She is a four year varsity player capable of playing in both goal and defense, allowing for versatility this upcoming season.  I believe she will make an instant impact for the women's soccer program as we look to revitalize the team."

Moore Haven head coach Jaime Alfonso spoke glowingly of Delgado-Juarez.  "As captain, Aracely has had a strong hand in the mentoring of the incoming freshmen.  Many look toward her for advice on and o? the field. Aracely has always been one of the first on the practice field as well as the last o?.  She always has a positive attitude and is always supportive of her team.  Even with the great responsibility of being team captain, Aracely has had a spectacular school record. She is graduating High School as well as College this year.  She demonstrates strong time management, leadership, and dedication as both a student as well as an athlete.  Her leadership skills as team captain have set high standards for her successors.  She is an example of how every team captain should hold themselves.  It is a great loss for our soccer team as she is moving on.  Anyone who gets the opportunity to meet and get to know Aracelly will understand how amazing she is."

Delgado-Juarez is the first commitment in Lyndon's Fall 2025 class.  The Hornets expect to announce additional commitments in the near future.
