The 2025 Loretto Academy Senior Alumnae Luncheon took place on April 25 at the Grace Gardens Gardner Room at 1 pm.

The event began with a welcome speech by senior class president, Melania Martinez, and senior vice president, Ana Camila Munoz.

The prayer was led by Student Council President and Vice President, Brianna Farrish and Rebeca Perez Gonzalez.

As lunch was served, Ms. Cobb, Loretto Academy President, introduced the keynote speaker, Judge Linda Perez.

A proud El Paso native, Judge Perez graduated from Loretto Academy in 1992.

She presides as the Judge of County Criminal Court at Law #1, and before this, she had the privilege of serving as an Assistant Attorney General of Texas.

As the keynote speech concluded, the Promise Lighting Ceremony commenced, as follows: the alumnae turned on their senior’s candle, read a list of promises, and blew out the candle.

Lastly, the Guardian Angel Pin placed by the Alumna on their senior symbolized all the Loretto Angels, legacies, and a place to call home.

As the event ended, the Class of 2025 shouted their senior cheer and became the newest Loretto alumnae.

Congratulations to the Class of 2025, the newest Angel Alumna!

About the Contributor

Ava Zubia, Co-Editor-in-Chief

Hi! My name is Ava Zubia and I am a senior at Loretto Academy. This is my first year writing for The Prax but this is my fourth year attending Loretto.

I am so excited to be in the position of Co-Editor-in-Chief. I will work together with my fellow peers so that we all contribute equally to producing The Prax. I want to make our year the most amazing it can be.

In my spare time I like to go for long drives, go to the gym, spend quality time with friends and family, and read.

My future plans entail going to a four year university, attending law school, and becoming a lawyer at my own firm. I look forward to striving for our goal for the publications of The Prax and becoming closer to those I am going to be working with.
