Introducing Our 2026 College Student Leaders

We are proud to introduce the five exceptional students who will serve as our College Student Leaders in 2026. These young leaders have been selected for their dedication, character, and commitment to making a positive impact across our College community.

We also acknowledge our House Leaders, who will play a vital role in fostering house spirit, mentoring younger students, and leading house events throughout the year:
