May 6 2026

Faculty/Staff Member	Student's Name	Grade	Pillar/Mindset Demonstrated	Details
Colleen Kelly	Juliette Thompson	12	Teamwork	Juliette exemplifies teamwork through her reliability and her readiness to support the Advancement Team each day. She consistently shows respect to others and brings a positive, uplifting attitude to every situation.
Matthew Tominaga	Anna Vu	12	MM: Pride in Self/School	Anna exemplifies Pride in Self as she was able to tackle the many projects this semester to create her own designs without the use of Canva. Her work was completed fairly quickly, but it is also the quality that I'm impressed with. Good luck next year at SLO in another design-related field of architecture, and the many all-nighters you will most definitely have.
Matthew Tominaga	Chloe Talaugon	12	MM: Leadership	Chloe showed her leadership skills from the initial design to the final product of the Student Fundraiser designs. Her creativity, effort, attention to detail, and choice of colors truly showed in the final design. Thanks for all the work you completed in 1st semester. Good luck next year in your UX Design program at SCAD!
Gabe Rhoades	Elissa Gonzalez	11	Building Respect	Constantly demonstrates kindness and respect towards all she interacts with. She is patient, humorous, and a role model on how to interact with kindness and respect.
Jacob Schott	Tiffany Ho	9	Pride in Self/School	Fantastic participation in class and genuine engagement to take risks and puzzle through difficult concepts.
Jacob Schott	Bella Gomez	9	Pride in Self/School	Great engagement and a willingness to get her hands dirty in biology class. Great curiosity and participation in the grog lab.
Jacob Schott	Sophie Wijeyeratnam	11	Pride in Self/School	Wonderful perseverance during AP French. As the only junior in the class, she has forged her own path and added meaningful content to the class sessions.
Jacob Schott	Aidan Wijeyeratnam	9	Pride in Self/School	Great sense of humor and a willingness to take risks and playfully explore the French language.
Jacob Schott	Eduardo Jauregui	9	Pride in Self/School	A fantastic presence in the French classroom. Willing to speak and engage deeply with the material. I'm very interested to see where the Francophone country research leads.
Jacob Schott	Cameron McDonell	9	Pride in Self/School	Seems to be looking deeply for something in French class. Her research and hunting for words and concepts in French will surely pay dividends in her education.
Jerico Abanico	Brennan Cacao	12	Pride in Self/School	Brennan has consistently shown pride in all that he does and has been a testament to who we are as a Holy Cross School. He is an example Mariner! Whether it be on the court, in the classroom, or down the halls, Brennan has been a model Mariner towards his peers and teammates.
K. Parker	Amanda Alvarez	9	Educating Hearts and Minds	Amanda consistently brings a thoughtful and imaginative approach to every project in Visual Arts. Her wit and clever ideas make her work stand out, while her strong attention to detail ensures each piece is carefully crafted and visually playful. Amanda has been a joy to have in class and has been such a positive contributor and influence to our art studio class this year.
K. Parker	Adrian Pickett	11	Educating Hearts and Minds	Adrian demonstrates exceptional skill in design, particularly in sculpture and clay. His work is consistently clean, well-structured, and thoughtfully executed. He is driven by strong intrinsic motivation and continually refines his techniques, and that dedication is clearly reflected in the quality and beauty of his work.
Amani	Tairan Liu	11	Leadership/Pride in School	Tairan has been a reliable, communicative, present Trig Tutor. He's relatable and makes his peers feel comfortable as they encounter challenging new content. He brings patience, positivity, and kindness to his sessions and has demonstrated so much growth and maturity over the year.
Amani	Olivia Au	10	Leadership/Pride in School	Olivia takes pride in her role in NHS and shows her leadership by virtue of sharing ideas, identifying potential issues, and finding solutions. She's genuine, reliable, and thoughtful, and we are lucky to have her as a tutor and student leader.
Amani	Stephanie Ramos	10	Leadership/Pride in School	Stephanie really brings attention to detail and thoughtfulness in her approach to tutoring Spanish. She breaks things down, sees where folks are at, and helps them get to where they want to be, with little wins along the way. She's patient and an excellent example of what it means to be a peer tutor.
Carew&Amani	John Martins	9	Educating Hearts and Minds	John has been putting in so much effort, even when it gets challenging, he's been trying new strategies, rising to it, and bringing joy to the process. John embodies what it means to have the Mariner Mindset of Educating the Heart and the Mind.
Amani	Qiana Walker	10	Leadership/Pride in School	Qiana is so self-directed and brings such focus, dedication, and positive energy to her tutoring sessions. We are very lucky to have her share her enthusiasm, strategy, and knowledge. She definitely delivers on her vision.
Carew&Amani	Jasmine Riley Ransbury	9	Educating Hearts and Minds	While so many students may rush to AI to do their thinking and writing for them, it's really refreshing to watch Jasmine put in the time to grapple with her ideas, organize them, put them in her own words, and experience the creative joy of that process. Jasmine shows dedication and reliability and embodies what it means to be on the path of cultivating the heart and mind. Excited to watch her journey as a thinker and an artist/dancer grow over the next few years :) She embodies the Mariner Mindset at its best.
Amani	Anwesha Vermaji	10	Leadership/Pride in School	Anwesha has been taking so much initiative to expand the scope of what being an NHS leader on campus entails, and I'm excited to see it all unfold over the next few years.
