Student Spotlight

The journey doesn’t end when the Supreme Court and My Hometowns program does! Our students go on to achieve incredible things in high school, college, and beyond. Whether they’re excelling in academics, leading community projects, or exploring new opportunities, we love keeping up with their successes. Check out what our recent alumni have been up to and how they’re continuing to make an impact!

Arius H., STL ‘23

This past year, a lot has changed in my life. I lost my grandmother, I’ve switched through several jobs, I even had to get a new car (that I now have to replace). Mentally, I’m doing fine but it has all been pretty hard on me. However, I’m very optimistic. I’m getting ready to graduate soon, and I even found a business partner to help me with my online clothing store. Given the circumstances, I would say I’m doing pretty good right now. Oh I almost forgot, I cut off my locs too and now I have an afro.

Hasini R., Boston ‘25

This past month I played the Tuba at the Central District of Massachusetts Concert Band Festival. I also was accepted into a couple of colleges I applied to such as American University, Georgia Tech, University of Maryland, and more! Finally, I celebrated the end of high school midterms with my friends at Chipotle.

Abrielle H., Boston ‘25

The Hometown program has greatly influenced my life. Since I have joined the program, I was inspired by the teaching of Supreme Court cases and I have established a new club at my school and started using similar methods to provide civics education sessions at the club by talking about legal cases that related to our lives. With the success in Public Forum debate as the Octofinalist in Harvard debate tournament in my 8th grade last year, I stepped into Lincoln-Douglas debate in my freshman year. After adapting the new debate style for 3-4 months, in January 2026, I was able to made my first step to win the U50 (Junior Varsity) first place in Lexington Winter Invitational.

Grace N., Indianapolis ’24

I will be going to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke University as a Robertson Scholar! This program allows me to pursue majors, engage with extracurricular activities, perform research with faculty, and participate in programs at both schools. I plan on majoring in History at UNC and International Comparative Studies at Duke.

Kimora H., St. Louis ’24

I am now a Saint Louis University student! I am also a Law Scholar with SLU! This program gives me the opportunity to participate in law-centered seminars and even a pre-admittance into SLU’s Law School. I have also received scholarships from both SLU and my own high school! I got the Vice Presidential’s scholarship! I am planning to double major in International/Global Studies and Political Science on the pre-law track. I’m graduating with honors from three Honors Societies and one volunteer-based club.

Kailani D., Boston ‘25

Recently, I finished my week of mid-terms. I consider a wonderful accomplishment given how difficult the IB program is at my school. The IB (International Baccalaureate) program is like the AP program but tougher. Additionally, I started making a fabulous artwork of a wolf-dragon creature.

Mariano G., Puerto Rico ‘25

I finished one of the longest books I have ever read. The book is called Lord of the Mysteries.

Halsey H., Providence ‘24

I recently committed to row D1 at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill!

Ana Maria F., Puerto Rico ‘25

Last month, alongside my school’s NHS directive, we created the NHS Recognition Program. Every month we aim to highlight the hardworking employees in Cupeyville School and give our thanks for their commitment to the school. We also made a d-board dedicated to the employee and handwritten letters by our NHS members.

Olivia M.H., St. Louis, ’25

I’m fully committed to going to the University of Wisconsin Madison attending their Letters and Science Honors Program for Political Science and minoring in History!

Vyra A., Chattanooga ’24

I have received the Bonners Scholarship and am super excited to join the Bonners Scholars at Berry College next semester! I’ll be double majoring in history and political science. I’m so thrilled to start this new chapter of my life 🙂
