Highlight for September 2017
Cassandra Loyola,
Class of 2018

Cassandra is the youngest of two children in the Loyola family. Her sister Karina graduated from San Miguel in 2013 and is currently on a full-ride scholarship at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. Much like her sister, Cassandra is a promising young lady and continues to excel both in the classroom and at the workplace. Through her first three years at San Miguel, she has maintained a 3.92 cumulative GPA, ranking her second in her class. In addition, she has consistently exceeded expectations in her work-study positions at Carondelet Health Network, M.A.D.D., and Radiology Limited.

This past summer, Cassandra received a full scholarship to attend a three-week summer enrichment program at Georgetown University. Cassandra is very involved in school and in her community. She is very self-giving and has volunteered at a number of nonprofit organizations throughout Tucson. At school, she leads her team by example in volleyball, softball, and basketball. She also serves the school as a Student Ambassador, President of National Honor Society, and President of the Environmental Club. Cassandra has not yet decided where she would like to college, but is very much interested in a career in the nonprofit sector or pre-med.

“Without San Miguel High School, I wouldn’t be able to have the same kind of love and encouragement that its inclusive community offers. I’m thankful to be able to attend such a prestigious school and to be exposed to so many opportunities that I would not have otherwise. I don’t know where I would be right now if it weren’t for San Miguel.”
Hurricane Harvey Aid
"Bannia did not have a normal work day. Bannia was tasked with shopping for Hurricane Harvey victims. We had a budget and she stayed right on, we even used coupons.The items will be delivered to U of A so that they can transport to Houston. Alliance Bank employees are constantly doing things to give back to the community. I appreciate her help, she is a pleasure to have."
