Today I got the chance to talk to one of the most involved students here at Santaluces and one of my best friends, Natalie Villanucci. You might have seen her around campus or on the Santaluces High School page on Instagram. She’s contributed so much of her time to this school and has dedicated herself towards making high school a memorable and enjoyable experience for everyone. Her work is heavily appreciated and so I felt as though it was only right that we got a chance to get to know one of the people behind all of the magic a little bit better.
