For Saint Monica Preparatory senior Dino Hidalgo, the road to graduation has been marked by resilience, determination and a commitment to helping others succeed alongside him.
This fall, Dino will attend the University of Portland to study Electrical Engineering, as the first student to participate in the University's new pathway partnership with SMPREP, earning guaranteed admission and a four-year scholarship in recognition of his academic achievements and the rigor of his Catholic education. Behind this achievement is a story of perseverance. Having faced significant personal loss and adversity during his high school years, Dino remained focused on his education while embracing opportunities to serve his school community. Rather than allowing challenges to define him, he chose to invest in others, becoming a dedicated student leader in SMPREP's growing peer tutoring program.

Nine months ago, Saint Monica Preparatory sophomore Anna Moore knew virtually nothing about rowing. Today, she's preparing to compete on one of the sport's biggest stages.
On Monday, Anna will travel to Sarasota, Florida, for the USRowing Youth National Championships, where more than 4,000 qualified junior athletes from across the country will compete on a world-class 2,000-meter course. Representing her Marina del Rey-based club team, RowLA, Anna and her doubles partner will be one of just 20 boats competing in the Women's Youth Double event.
"I love being on the water; the peace of an early morning row is something that cannot be described and brings me so much fulfillment," Anna shared. Her story is a reminder that sometimes the best opportunities begin with the willingness to try something new.
