BENEFITS OF A HOLY CROSS EDUCATION
BENEFITS OF A HOLY CROSS EDUCATION
Interview with Miss. Briana Torres
We asked Miss Briana Torres, a current senior at Holy Cross, what benefits she receives from a Holy Cross education. “This school has opened many doors for me,” Miss Torres said, “Holy Cross has given me a strong foundation, which I will take with me to college and beyond.” Miss Torres is accepted to several Universities such as St. Edward’s University, the University of Texas at Austin and Manhattan College. Since August 2015 she has raised $208,800 in scholarship money for college. Furthermore in early January 2016, Miss Torres was recognized at the Valero Alamo Bowl as a recipient of the Valero Alamo Bowl Scholarship. She concludes, “I have found much success this year and I know that it is because of Holy Cross.” We are very proud of Miss Torres’ accomplishments and we look forward to her success to come!
Congratulations Briana! Keep up the great work!
