Academic excellence and leadership continue to define our Class of 2026.
Congratulations to Alejandro Gierbolini ’26 and Mardi Roques ’26 on being named 2026 U.S. Presidential Scholars Program Semifinalists, one of the nation’s highest honors for graduating high school seniors.
Approximately 650 students across the country are selected as semifinalists, recognized not only for outstanding academic achievement, but also for their character, leadership, service, and contributions to their communities.
