Serra graduate
Isaiah Salinda '15 led the Stanford golf team to a tie for 16

"Isaiah put up a great round today and was nearly flawless from tee to green," Head Coach Conrad Ray told
The Stanford Daily. "It was fun to see him step up in the moment with some big crowds and the vibes you have during the final stroke play round of the NCAA Championships. It was a great way to cap off a strong season."
A junior, Salinda will look forward to bettering his efforts next season as a senior. He was named All-Pac 12 Honorable Mention this spring.

| Padres Embrace Service-Immersion |
Two groups of Serra students embarked on Service-Immersion trips during the month of June. The Padres traveled to Puerto Rico and East Los Angeles to learn about culture and immerse themselves in a community different from their own at home.
In Puerto Rico, students distributed groceries to community members, visited a manatee conservation center and served at Banco de Alimentos, a Puerto Rican relief agency. Our Padres also toured Old San Juan and explored Puerto Rico via kayak.
In East Los Angeles, students learned how the marginalized populations surrounding Dolores Mission in East Los Angeles have been lifted up by Homeboy Industries, a world-renowned gang rehabilitation program founded by Fr. Greg Boyle. Fr. Boyle visited Serra and its students last November to spread his message of love and compassion. Homeboy Industries has responded to violence with love, faith in action and opportunities for this gang-torn community. Our Padres learned how Fr. Boyle has dedicated his life to providing quality education and life options for the East LA community.
