Abigail Craig
If you’re looking for Abigail on campus, odds are you’ll find her in Room 213 holding a Spirit Club meeting, picnicking on Senior Lawn with friends, or yelling “ALL HEART” in the hallways. From receiving varsity letters in both tennis and ComedySportz to giving one-of-a-kind tours of campus as a Student Ambassador, Abigail’s love for Justin-Siena is apparent in all the ways she is involved, including her service as a Kairos retreat leader. Outside of school, Abigail gets her adventure fix by volunteering at Challenge Sonoma Adventure Ropes Course and through Sonoma Valley Venturing Crew 16, a program geared to helping teen girls get outside of their comfort zones and grow as leaders, which Abigail founded and now runs. She plans on double majoring in anthropology and journalism in college.

Jill Del Arroyo
Jill Del Arroyo: all 4'10 inches of compassion, determination, smiles and laughs. A Justin-Siena cheerleader since her sophomore year, Jill started out as the JV co-captain and then moved up to varsity, loving every minute of it. Jill has been a part of a ComedySportz team, A Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime, Justin-Siena's 24 Hour Play Project, among other theatrical pursuits. When Jill isn't being thrown several feet high to promote Justin-Siena school spirit, working hard in the classroom, transforming into a character on stage, or laughing with friends, she daydreams about a better world, exploring serious justice issues that affect our communities. When Jill can find a little time to herself she enjoys creative writing and is an avid doodler. After JS, Jill plans to attend a four-year university and study communications and marketing.

Grace Haymond
Although frequently the opposite of graceful, “amazing” Grace gives everything her all and embodies what it means to be All Heart. Grace is passionate about service, videography, spreading positivity, and empowering others with creativity. Throughout her years at Justin-Siena she has been involved in many different areas, as a Student Ambassador, a member of Spirit Club, playing lacrosse and volleyball (winning "Most Spirited"), founding Film Club, co-founding DoSomething Club, as National Art Honors Society and National Honors Society member, a Kairos retreat leader, and junior class Loyalty Award winner. She strives to make a positive impact on everyone's life.

After high school, she hopes to study neuroscience in college on a path to become a doctor.

Mac Armstrong-Brown
Mac Armstrong-Brown has contributed greatly to Justin-Siena, through both sports and academics. He broke the diving school record his freshman year, and was named diving MVP the following year. Mac has a strong belief that people should always be themselves regardless of what others think, and that they should forge their own paths. This mentality paired with a desire for self-expression, led Mac to become one of the first male cheerleaders at Justin-Siena. Additionally, Mac has been elected onto class council for the past four years, he has won his class Spirit Award for the past three years, and he is heavily involved with LSL, leading retreats, as well as being a student ambassador. He is a three-year ComedySportz act-lete and is fluent in Spanish.

Demetri Bouzos
Demetri Bouzos is an extremely active member of the JS community. You may hear him referred to as “the curly haired kid,” “that guy that does theatre,” or, most importantly, “the Greekest kid on campus.” A vigorous participator in both school and Greek life, Demetri is a youth leader at his church and in two Greek folk dancing groups. He’s got the soul and the moves to motivate you to be a better Greek, and therefore a better person. Demetri, a.k.a. “Yung Oliv,” is all over campus, as a Lasallian Student Leader, an active club member, a CSF scholar, a Student Ambassador, and as an actor in every theater production at Justin-Siena since freshman year (a ComedySportz captain too!). Demetri has maintained a 4.5+ GPA through it all, and wouldn’t change a thing.

Joseph Celaya
Joseph Celaya is a dapper young man who you would most often find on the soccer field or with his nose in a textbook. He’s played on the soccer team and maintained one of the highest GPAs on campus since his freshman year. When he's not studying or playing sports, and even when he is, you'll likely hear him singing Taylor Swift, which was much easier for him as a freshman. He has sung in the Advanced Choir since ninth grade, currently serving as an Instructional Leader. Joseph finds much fulfillment in his service as a leader on campus. He has been on the class council all four years, received the leadership award last year, and is currently Student Body President with Neha Sidhu. Above all, Joseph is a family man. He loves his mom, dad, and siblings more than anything in the world.

Dan Clark
Dan Clark has got everything it takes to be a Brave! If you’re looking for Dan, you'll find him on the football field catching the winning touch down or in LSL making plans for the Change for Our World campaign. Dan's a five-star man – if you want a top-notch meal of cereal and milk or someone to kill a spider, then Dan has your back. Having played on the varsity football team for three years, helping lead the team to a championship, as well as being apart of LSL since sophomore year, Dan is a true servant leader and athlete. In addition to an all-star sense of humor, did we mention he's All Heart, all the time? There is no finer or more exemplary Brave than Dan Clark.

Mitchell Martin
Mitchell enjoys being a student-athlete at Justin-Siena. In the classroom, he has been an honor roll student, a CSF member, and a recipient of the Academic Honor for physics. As a three-year varsity track and field athlete, he earned an MVP and Coach Award for his commitment and contribution to the Braves’ track team. He is proud of being on the football team all four years, starting on both offense and defense, and also played freshman basketball as a team captain. As a six year Napa Track Club team member, he has competed in the javelin at the Junior Olympics, and was a “top 8” medal winner in that event at the 2015 Youth National Championships in Chicago. He also volunteers his time with young athletes at track and field meets. Mitchell values his family and friends, sharing his “off-season” time water skiing, snowboarding and playing beach volleyball.

Jake Prittie
What Jake lacks in athletic ability he more than makes up for in all of his other endeavors. He is no stranger to leadership as proven by his membership in the California Scholarship foundation, Justin-Siena Student Ambassadors, Senior Class Council, chair of Jam Club, and as the stage manager for theatre productions. Jake loves music more than most things in life and has been playing piano for almost 10 years. He currently teaches piano at his former elementary school and loves sharing his passion with everyone. When not playing piano he can be found restoring his 1966 mustang and spending time with his super cool pals. Jake plans to study mechanical engineering at a school somewhere near the coast and hopes to work in the automotive industry.

Connor Wesson
Connor is an avid water sport athlete, he was a member of the JSHS swim team for both his freshman and sophomore year, and he has played water polo for two club teams and Justin-Siena for the past four years. He has been a Lasallian Student Leader for the past three years and has learned a lot about what makes a true leader (“how can I help?”). Connor was also an integral member of the student team who developed the ALL HEART identity, and he continues to support all who strive to be ALL HEART. In his free time, Connor travels the world. Connor hopes to study Marine Biology at a four-year university after he graduates from Justin-Siena.

Jacob Wright
Jacob will be the fifth of six children to attend and graduate from Justin-Siena. As a Justin-Siena third baseman, Jake has played baseball all 4 years, was JV captain his sophomore year, and was voted Most Improved Player on varsity last season. He's very active in student leadership and he is one of only two people who has served in LSL for three years running; he was the force behind a famously awesome Homecoming Haunted House his sophomore year. As Spirit Club President, along with Abigail and Megan, he leads the student section at games and he is currently on the Executive Board. This past summer Jacob had the unique opportunity of attending the TASIS Summer program in Switzerland, where he took an Italian cooking course and met people from all over the world. He hopes to attend University of Oregon and study business with an emphasis in sports management. Jake Wright is unarguably the most spirited guy on campus, and possibly the nicest.
