What do you like about Santaluces?

“What I like about Santaluces High School is the overall environment. The students are super friendly and it has great people to make lifelong friendships with. The teachers, instructors, coaches and staff are very helpful and will go out of their way to help you get to the next level of your education.”

What do you want to do in the future? How do you stay motivated?

“ In the future, I would want to pursue a career in the military either in the Marines Corps or the Army to protect and serve a greater meaning than myself, so that others may live. My motivation would have to be my family and friends because they really helped me and guided me to become the person I am today. My motivation for school is to get the best education that will provide me skills and knowledge that I will need to survive in the real world. Having a strong mindset for sports is what keeps me going. Wrestling taught me that sports are not only physically challenging but also mentally. I push myself to do things I have never done before as well.”
