Hello! My name is Celeste Hirschi and I am a Senior here at Loretto.

This is my first year writing for The Prax and I am the editor for the Sports section.

I am born and raised in El Paso, and have much love for the Borderland.

Both of my older sisters went to Loretto, so I’ve grown up looking forward to all the Loretto tradition and have always loved Loretto. 

I am an avid sports fan and a member of the Loretto Swim Team. 

I am unsure what exactly my future holds; however, I hope that I can apply the valuable skills learned here into my daily life.
