Meet Our Scholars
Maryfer Palacios, Trinity
Maryfer is almost 14 years old and has 3
sisters. She is looking forward to attending
Trinity and becoming a Madonna Scholar like
her oldest sister this fall. Maryfer believes
attending an all-girl Catholic school will help
her grow spiritually and build character. She is
competitive and would love to participate in as
many sports and activities as possible.
Melissa Lara, Resurrection
An all-girl environment will help Melissa Lara focus on what
is important to her: God and her education. The first time
she walked into Resurrection, she felt welcomed and the
sisterhood of the community. She plans on being involved in
several sports and clubs once school starts. This summer she
will be spending time reading in the park with her dogs.
