Carmelite Medal Winners The Carmelite Medal honors one male and one female student from the senior class who best exemplify the true meaning of a Salpointe Catholic education. These honored students have consistently demonstrated the Carmelite charism of prayer, community and service. The winners of the Carmelite Medal, Salpointe’s most prestigious award, are presented with individual medals and have their names engraved on a permanent plaque which is displayed on campus. Our female winner is a young woman who has truly made the most of her Salpointe education. She has managed to be successfully involved in a wide variety of activities that demonstrate her creativity, leadership and concern for others. She has challenged herself academically and been a varsity athlete, peer mentor, member of STUCO, Racing the Sun, National Honor Society and liturgy committee. She does all of this with perseverance, kindness and a commitment to always do her best. She consistently demonstrates the life skills of resilience and compassion for others and is recognized by her peers, teachers and coaches as someone who truly makes a difference. One of her friends describes her as a “Renaissance woman with a heart.” Our 2022 female Carmelite Medal winner is Jenae Mona. Our male winner exemplifies true servant leadership and an unparalleled work ethic. Everything he does is with the singular purpose of doing it in the best way possible and he almost always succeeds - whether it is starting his own business, providing needy children with gifts at Christmas, tackling the opponent on the football field or earning straight As. He is a young man who realized at an early age that helping others is a way of celebrating life and expressing gratitude for his own blessings. His quiet sense of humor and authenticity make him a person whom everyone wants to be around. As one friend said, “He is always himself and God is super big in his life. Without him, I wouldn’t even really know about God.” His positive impact on others has been enormous. Our 2022 male Carmelite Medal winner is Davian Miranda Carrasco.
Celebrating Seniors The Salpointe Alumni Council invited the Class of 2022 to a special celebration in April. Seniors enjoyed treats and music, and picked up their Class of 2022 yard signs to proudly display at their homes in celebration of their upcoming graduation.
