The Class of 2021 successfully completed their studies at Holy Trinity High School and celebrated their commencement on Saturday, June 5 at Holy Trinity Church.
This class received scholarship and grant offers totaling more than $9.2 Million, and will be attending top colleges and universities across the country, with many attending on full or nearly full ride scholarships. The Class of 2021 includes two Chick Evans Scholars and two Illinois State Scholars, ranking in the top 10 percent of all students in Illinois as determined at the end of their junior year. In addition, our graduates won an array of awards in the areas of athletics, mathematics, entrepreneurship, and robotics.
Congratulations to our Top Ten Seniors: Blessing Nkezea, Diamond Russell, Monserrat Estrada, Susi Delgado, Lizette Gallegos, Sania Miller, Danna Joyce Pichay, Ryan Sarau-Young, Bach Tran, and Minh Le.
The 83 new graduates join the ranks of our distinguished HT Alumni, which is more than 8,000 strong. As President Tim Bopp stated: “You have been an outstanding class, and have represented yourself, your families, and the HT community with class, effort, and togetherness. Even through the most challenging year ever, our chests are pumped out, our smiles run from ear to ear for all the wonderful accomplishments you have attained. Not only have you made it, you made it with distinction, not only out-performing your peers in Chicago, but across the country. When students around the country were trying to figure out how to do school, you were already in class. We celebrate what each of you have become and have great hope and faith on what’s to come.”
