✊Jaylen

 

Meet Jaylen, a sophomore Wingspan Scholar who's not just talking about change – she's MAKING it happen! While balancing her studies, Jaylen serves on her neighborhood CAPS Youth Council, working block by block to tackle crime and boost quality of life across Chicago. She's living proof that you don't have to wait until you're "older" to make a real difference. This is leadership in action!

⚾ Niko

 

On the field, Niko is unstoppable – the kind of player who turns heads and makes coaches smile. But here's the thing: Niko's winning streak doesn't end with the final out. Step into the classroom, and you'll find that same fire, that same drive to be the best. He's showing everyone that you can absolutely dominate both arenas when you refuse to settle for anything less than greatness!

📣 Ariyanna

 

Give it up for Ariyanna! She’s the kind of student who lights up every game with pure ENERGY, SPIRIT, and JOY! From sunrise practices to those electric late-night games under the lights, Ariyanna puts in the hard work to shine. She doesn't just cheer from the sidelines – she doesn't just cheer FOR success, she IS success. That's the Ariyanna difference!

🔬 Damian

 

Step into the lab with Damian! While some students might see Biology as just another class, Damian sees it as an adventure into the building blocks of life itself. He's the kind of student who asks "why?" and then rolls up his sleeves to find out. Critical thinking. Problem-solving. Communication. Those skills he's building right now? They're going to take him anywhere he wants to go, no matter what path he chooses!
