Aileen Regan Doniger

On the Climbing Team and in Mexico and Peru, you give 100% and inspire others to do the same. You made real change presenting to the State Legislature, and bringing voter registration drives to CA. Eager to learn in every subject, you won the Senior Science Award. Your ASR Gender Movements paper was a welcome addition to Mustang Review. And as Co-President of Speech & Debate, when you speak, people listen. 

 
Hashem Mohamed Shereef Elprince

A global citizen, you bring a thoughtful perspective wherever you go. In Squash and Ultimate Frisbee, you have built a great community of friends. A natural advocate, you competed on Mock Trial's State Championship Team and deliberated real cases in Teen Court. A teacher calls you "a creative soul" who savors classroom conversations. Humanitarian at heart, we know that you care deeply for the world.

 
Fletcher Finnley Emerson

Calm, level-headed, and "curiosity personified," you find solitude in the stillness of casting a line and joy in the hum of building.

Social Studies Award winner, passionate fisherman, Soccer Captain, and CLT, you are all in, leading with kindness and the ability to lift up those around you.  

 
Mack Owen Emrich

Powerhouse student and athlete, you are grounded, kind, and deeply trusted by those around you. On the Lacrosse field as Captain, you shift culture, the steady anchor your team counts on.

Andrew Wallace Esposito

Fully and confidently yourself, we love seeing you nose-deep in Nietzsche or reviving hacky sack into a philosophical movement. Whether scaling a rock face or tackling a Physics or Computer Science problem, your elegant solutions awe your teachers. You lead by example and add so much to CA. Big thinker, beautiful writer, old soul.  

 
Marques Kato Esquibel

Your intellectual curiosity and inclusive leadership run deep. Published in CA's inaugural Mustang Review for your ASR Cryptography paper, you excel across every discipline.

Deeply rooted and values-driven, you are the Renaissance student you set out to become.

Thank you for your speech.

 
Eva Adelaide Gifford

"One of the most beautiful writers I've taught," an English teacher says. Your ASR paper on fairy tales evolved into a nuanced cultural critique that feels like the start of a lifelong conversation. On the Volleyball court, you set the emotional rhythm of the team the same way you do in your work with Project Angel Heart and as a camp counselor, leading with curiosity, purpose, and care.

Younger students want to be just like Rory. Your star shines bright.

A stellar Field Hockey player, co-founder of CA's Special Olympics Club, and an incredible CLT mentor, you put your hand up and get things done.

Driven, easygoing, and impossible to rattle, you tackle every obstacle with a smile.  

 
Erick Hernandez Morales

You’re an iconic example of what persistence and heart make possible.

In CLT, the Field Hockey Team, and your volunteer work at Advent Health, you radiate positivity throughout campus and beyond.  

 
Robert Stephen Kenney Jr.

A voracious reader, debater, and intellectual heavyweight, your brain is like an encyclopedia. A teacher calls you "almost telepathic" about finding the exact quotes they are reaching for in discussions. That depth shows up everywhere: in Speech & Debate, Student Investment Fund, Academy Jazz, your Colombia trip, and as a CLT leader. Award winner in Spanish, your gifts leave a lasting legacy on CA.
