NAVY REIGN SPIRIT SQUAD Kylah D’Laci Prevost is the daughter of Kyle Dwayne Prevost and Judge Sharlayne Jackson Prevost. She is the granddaughter of Terry Jackson, Charles Jackson, Rosemary Prevost, and the late Joseph “Mickey” Prevost, whose love and support have helped shape her into the accomplished young woman she is today. At Ursuline, Kylah is actively involved in both academics and student life. She enjoys dancing, traveling, shopping, and playing softball, activities that allow her to express creativity while maintaining balance and discipline. Her commitment to excellence has earned her the Golden Award in both Spanish and Dance, recognizing her outstanding achievement in these areas. Kylah has also distinguished herself in language studies, earning a Diploma of Spanish as a Foreign Language from the Cervantes Institute on behalf of the Spanish Ministry of Education. As a bilingual student, she values the opportunity to connect with others across cultures and broaden her global perspective. A dedicated leader within the Ursuline community, Kylah proudly serves as one of the Captains of the Navy Reign Spirit Squad. She is also an active member of the Spanish Club, Games Club, Operation Donation, and the African-American Studies Club, where she enjoys contributing to school life and supporting her peers. After graduation, Kylah plans to attend Southern University A&M College, where she will major in Biology to pursue a career in dentistry. With a strong foundation in science and a desire to help others, she hopes to make a positive impact by improving confidence and well-being through her future work. Inspired by Walt Disney’s quote, “All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them,” Kylah looks forward to continuing her journey with determination, confidence, and purpose.


NAVY REIGN SPIRIT SQUAD Azaliah Kimora Sutherland is a proud member of the Nix of ’26 and has spent the past 13 years dancing and parading through the vibrant streets of New Orleans. Known for her confidence, style, and commanding presence, Azaliah brings energy, leadership, and a little sparkle wherever she goes. As one of the Captains of Navy Reign, she proudly represents the strength, spirit, and sisterhood of her team every time she steps onto the parade route or performance floor. Beyond the dance line, Azaliah is a strong leader within her school community. She serves as the President of the AfricanAmerican Studies Club, the Unit Commander of JROTC, and an Officer of the English Honor Society. During the summer and fall of 2025, she also completed an internship in the Communications Department at the Mayor’s Office, gaining valuable experience in leadership, public service, and professional communication. Azaliah is the daughter of Ariel Alexander, whose love, guidance, and unwavering support have helped shape the confident, driven, and determined young woman she is today. Guided by her faith and her favorite scripture, Proverbs 3:15 — “She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her,” Azaliah strives to walk with purpose, wisdom, and grace in everything she does. After graduation, Azaliah plans to attend a Historically Black College or University (HBCU) where she intends to major in Psychology, minor in Political Science, and continue dancing as a member of a collegiate dance line. Her long-term goal is to become an FBI agent working in the Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) and eventually pursue a career in politics. From New Orleans parade routes to the halls of an HBCU and beyond, Azaliah Kimora Sutherland is just getting started — and one thing is certain: wherever she goes, she will lead with confidence, move with purpose, and leave her mark. Her family and village could not be more proud of the woman she is becoming.


LIONETTES DANCE TEAM Camy Elizabeth Weber was born on April 4, 2008 in Metairie, La. As a toddler, Camy was very funny, witty, inquisitive and smart. And still today, she has those same attributes. Camy attended St. Clement of Rome from Pre-K 4 to 7th grade. During her time there, she was involved in many extracurricular activities, such as Robotics, Honor Band, and Honor Choir. In 3rd grade, she was a narrator in their production of The Wizard of Oz. Camy has been dancing for 13 years, twelve of those years were spent at her dance studio, Debby Dillehay Dancers. She has taken 12 years of tap and ballet, 11 years of hip-hop, 9 years of jazz, 7 years of modern/lyrical, and 4 years of pointe. She was also a class assistant and demonstrator. In addition to her classes, for five years, she was a member of the Angels of Dance Ministry and the competition team, Dance Troupe. Camy has competed in the Elite, VIP, and Dixie Dance Masters competitions. Camy started at Ursuline Academy in the 8th grade and has been a part of numerous school activities. She has been a member of the Lionettes Dance Team for 5 years and is currently serving as Co-Captain. Her other extra-curricular activities include being Ursuline’s first-ever Yearbook Chief Editor, the Founder and President of Youth & Government, Vice President of National English Honors Society, and she is also a member of the Newspaper and Quiz Bowl. Camy is currently starring in Jesuit's Philelectic Society's production of Grease. In her spare time, Camy likes going out with her friends and traveling. Her last trip was her dream trip to Paris. She also enjoys watching movies, reading, and writing. Camy will major in Journalism in college. She hopes to be a film journalist or news anchor in the future.


NAVY REIGN SPIRIT SQUAD Semaj Brisco is the proud daughter of Candice Williams and Demond Brisco Sr., and tonight she celebrates the culmination of an incredible nine-year journey within this school community. Since joining in the 4th grade, Semaj has grown into a confident, accomplished young woman, making this her 9th and final year as a senior truly meaningful. Throughout her time at Ursuline, she has consistently maintained Honor Roll status, demonstrating her commitment to academic excellence while actively balancing her extracurricular passions. As a two-year and original member of Navy Reign, Semaj helped lay the foundation for what the team is today. Being part of the inaugural group, she embraced the challenge of building something new, setting the tone with dedication, resilience, and heart. Known for her free spirit and infectious laughter during practice, Semaj brings light, positivity, and joy everywhere she goes. Her teammates will tell you — if you hear laughter echoing through the gym, it is probably Semaj. Dance has given her a space to be free, to grow in confidence, and to create memories and sisterhood bonds she will cherish for a lifetime. After graduation, Semaj will attend Clark Atlanta University, where she will major in Political Science on a Pre-Law track with a minor in Psychology. With her determination and heart for others, she is well on her way to making a meaningful impact in the world.


NAVY REIGN SPIRIT SQUAD Taylor Pierre has been a proud member of the Ursuline family since her freshman year. From the moment she arrived, she embraced every opportunity placed before her, embodying the true spirit of an Ursuline Trailblazer. Throughout her time at Ursuline, Taylor has maintained Honor Roll status, been an active and dedicated leader, serving in Student Council and on the Executive Board. She was selected for the National Honor Society (NHS), Mu Alpha Theta (Math Honor Society), National English Honor Society (NEHS), and the National Honor Society of High School Scholars (NHSHSS). She also served as an Ambassador and held leadership roles in NJROTC and African-American Studies as Vice President and Chief Unit. Taylor further expanded her involvement through organizations such as Spanish Club and many others. Dance has always been at the heart of who Taylor is. She began dancing at just two years old, starting with New Orleans Dance Association (NODA) before training with New Orleans Ballet Association (NOBA) from ages 7–14. At Ursuline, she was a proud member of the Lionettes Dance Team for three years. During her senior year, she expanded her talents as a member of the St. Augustine Golden Heart Dance Team and Navy Reign Spirit Squad. Over 16 years, Taylor has trained in ballet, modern, contemporary, hip-hop, jazz, pom, majorette, lyrical, and praise dance. For Taylor, dance has been more than movement — it has been an outlet, a discipline, and a source of expression. Through dance, she has learned resilience, emotional awareness, and the power of telling a story without words. Anyone who knows Taylor knows her love for dance runs deep. This fall, Taylor will attend Howard University, where she plans to major in Chemical Engineering. She hopes to continue her dance journey by auditioning for Howard’s majorette team, the Oh La La Dancers.


NAVY REIGN SPIRIT SQUAD A star was born on March 26, 2008 — Ava Coryn Sallier, beloved daughter of Dwight and Juanita Sallier and proud sister to Devin, Arrienne, and Avery. At Ursuline, Ava is an honor student and proudly serves as the Senior Class President. She is Captain of the Ursuline Track Team and LA Elite Track Club, Treasurer of the Tri-M Music Honor Society, and an active member of Spanish Club, Games Club, Fitness Club, and the Navy Reign Spirit Squad. Beyond Ursuline, Ava is in her fourth season cheering for St. Augustine High School where she serves on leadership as Co-Captain. She is also a Junior Olympics Track and Field qualifier in the Triple Jump and competed as the first leg of the 100-meter relay with LA Elite Track Club. In 2025, Ava was honored as a debutante with the Krewe of Nandi and the Young Men of Illinois 100Year Tableau. She was also recognized in the Jefferson Parish Youth Hall of Fame by State Representative Rodney Lyons for her excellence in academics, athletics, and community service. Ava’s journey has also shaped her purpose. After being diagnosed with epilepsy at age 13, she chose to become a healthcare advocate, sharing her story through community outreach and Manning Family Children’s Hospital to encourage other young people facing health challenges. Ava is a member of Morning Glory Fellowship Church where she serves as a junior usher and volunteers through outreach initiatives supporting families in need and nursing home residents. This fall, Ava will attend Loyola University on a track scholarship where she plans to major in Psychology on the PreMed track and compete with the Wolfpack Track and Field Team. Her dream is to become a pediatric neurologist and a healthcare advocate for children. Her favorite scripture is 1 Corinthians 15:10: “But by the grace of God, I am what I am.” Ava lives by the motto, “God’s not through with me yet.”


We would like to thank our parents and families for their unwavering support, encouragement, and dedication to our dancers and performers. Your commitment and love make everything we do possible. We also extend our sincere gratitude to our school leadership, President Leiva, Principal Heidel, and DoBee Plaisiance, Athletic Director for their continued support of our Spirit Groups.
