Lauren Larson graduated from Bishop Manogue Catholic High School and was co-salutatorian of her graduating class. Even though she had an hour long commute to school everyday, she still found ways to be involved as president of the Sodality club, treasurer of National Honors Society, and Editor-in-Chief for the yearbook. She was also on the debate team and on the Varsity soccer team that won the regional championships for the first time during her senior year. Lauren has a passion for service, and over the course of high school was able to travel to Spain with her soccer team to train in Barcelona and bring school supplies to a local orphanage. The following year, she traveled to Guatemala with an immersion program and volunteered for two weeks teaching English and painting tables and chairs for the classrooms. This summer, she is interning at a hospital in Reno to learn more about career opportunities in the medical field. She is grateful to Santa Clara for not only allowing her to better herself through education, but to find a path where she can continually be in service to others.
