This past summer, 22 of our Lancers took part in five leadership programs across the country with the National Hispanic Institute (NHI), an organization dedicated to empowering young leaders to shape their futures through community engagement, debate, and collaboration.

At the California Sol Great Debate, Dante Cassina ’28 won the NHI Grand Debate Championship, Logan Fisher ’28 (Athenaeum POD) earned 2nd place, and Florence Charlotte Duffy-Waldie ’28 received the Transformation Award from her head coach.

Special shoutout to all our participants: Brian Flores ’28, Johannes Alvarado ’28, Noah Loayza ’28, Adelina Jackson ’28, Barbie Solis ’28, Ariana Ruiz ’28, Giselle LeDuff ’28, Liv Gonzalez ’28, Lilah Ferrer ’28, Gladys Kathleen Duffy-Waldie ’28, David Conchas ’27, Alexander Perez ’27, Maya Ulick-Gallegos ’27, Jade Martin-Gomez ’27, Audrey Montaño ’26, Sabrina Ramirez ’26, Noah Leiva ’26, Atticus Cruz Jackson ’26, and Tatiana Quijano ’26.

We’re so proud of our students for representing La Salle with excellence and embodying what it means to lead with purpose, service, and compassion.
