— Geoffrey Yang ('26)
Jayden Áleman
“Jayden is effortlessly cool and a complete people magnet. From her hair, to her outfits, to the way she carries herself, everything about her feels naturally iconic. Her glow, both internal and external, is completely innate, the kind of presence people try to imitate but never quite can.”
— Chijioke Mgbeke (‘27)

— Jacob Zhang ('26)
Manas Brahmbhatt

Andres Caballero
“Andres is the type of guy that you can be yourself with. He’s great at giving advice. My favorite memory with him is camping with him along the Colorado river. We were able to talk about real stuff in the moment and have meaningful conversations, joke around and create lingo because we didn’t have internet.”
— Michel Fountatin ('26)
Lucas Cai
“If I could describe Lucas in one word, it would be thoughtful. Sometimes he has too much thought, but never too little. He’s a friend who cares and thinks for you like no other.”
— Tony Gao (‘26)

She’s an amazing climber, and could’ve easily gone off to do harder climbs, but she stayed with me, helping and encouraging me the whole time.”
— Caroline Pulliam ('26)
Evan Chang
“Like his idol, LeBron James, Evan Chang is consistently dripped out both on and off the basketball court. Hailing from Taipei, Taiwan, Evan has never once been caught lacking in style. As a self-proclaimed D1 athlete, he has…”

Richard Chiu

As I, your Noho roommate, gossip buddy, and Li brother will relentlessly roast you for being a Snorlax in disguise, the villain to this story, the Uber called by the Jedi, and the bald guy. I will never tell them that behind all trivial matter lies a friend who's sincere, undeniably successful yet humble, and someone who always sheds light upon others (also known as glaze).”
— Victor Li ('26)
Thomas Chiu

— Alexander Efuetngu (‘29)
Michel Fountain
“We were both on the same trip and we went to Nevada to canoe the Colorado River, and it was really nice having someone I could partner with no matter what in everything that we were doing, whether it was canoeing or sleeping, in the tents or on a hike. I could always count on him to be with me and always stay by my side. I really appreciated the knowledge and everything that he brought on the trip. I don't think the trip would have been the same if he wasn't on it.”
— Andres Caballero ('26)

— Ethan Cao ('26)
Fionn Graham
“Fionn is super-smart academically, and very funny. I think my favorite memory would be the first time I ever went to his parents' house for dinner. He invited me over, and his parents were so welcoming, and I kind of got to understand where Fionn gets his sense of hospitality from, because his parents are just great people.”
— Aaden Mozia ('26)
Joey Grossman
“Fueled entirely by Red Bull and Radiohead, Joey moves through life like a sunburnt berserker while on his 2nd paleo trip, powered by chaos, bad attention span decisions, and somehow still immaculate vibes. If ADHD were an extreme sport, he’d already have a world title. And of course loves to sing even if you don’t want to hear it”
— Mikey Pino (‘26)

“Eric has a very interesting sense of humor… The reels he sends are questionable (Clash royale audios iykyk).”

Lucy Li
“She's so brilliant and thoughtful. She is so talented.”

— Richard Chiu ('26)
Rex Li
“Rex is a really chill guy, very fun to hang around with, and very charismatic and emotionally intelligent but also very smart and can help me when I need it, and I can always rely on bro to help me do dorm check ins. He’s always someone I go out with to get food and shop.”
— Jacob Zhang ('26)

— Connor Woertink ('26)
Emma Liu
“She’s my tutor in dance because I’ve always been a K-Pop fan, but I haven’t got a chance to learn how to dance. In Webb Idol sophomore year, we were both choreographers for North Hutch, and that was my first time doing dance. And then I also joined the dance show and Jubilee with her.”
— Aurora Deng ('26)
Stephanie Liu
“She’s the friend that everyone needs, just like how everyone needs a soft pillow at the end of a very hard day.”

— Victor Li ('26)
Diana Luo
“She is the one I tell about the most mundane things, like what color hair I want, the type of food I’m craving right now, or the decoration of my future apartment 10 years down the road. I can always dump all my thoughts, even if irrational and crazy, and I know she will judge but still love me.”

— Samantha Wang (‘26)
Linda Meng

— Stephanie Liu ('26)
Mandana Mojaverian
“Mandana has always been a constant force in my life, someone I know I can fall back on. Beyond being a strong leader, she makes people feel comfortable being themselves.”

— Amelia Centeno (‘26)
Natália Mosaquites

— Giada Mosaquites ('28)
Aaden Mozia
Sochika Ndibe
“Sochika is like the rich aunty that shows up to family gatherings with gifts for all her nieces. She is so cool and classy, and is always there for me when I need her. I’m going to miss not having her as my neighbor every year, but I know she will do fantastic things in the future.”

— Evan Chang ('26)
Jia Ni
“Jia sometimes calls herself “too woke,” but I always turn to her when I want to be educated and up to date with our current affairs. The last word I would use to describe her is “lazy.” Sure, she wants to bum around and just eat food all the time, but I’ve always known that she is hardworking and determined. If she wants something, she will try her absolute best to do it, and she does it well. She makes me want to improve myself.”
— Emily Shao ('26)
Patrick O’Hearn
“On the outside, Patrick may seem like just a quiet guy, but you'll realize that he’s actually really chill and smart once you get to know him. He’s a great friend, and someone I can always rely on to pick up my calls or help me when I need it the most.”
— Jacob Zhang ('26)
Anna Park
“Anna is someone whose room, though a little messy, will always be open for study sessions, gossip sessions, brawl star rounds, and getting ready for big events. She is the epitome of how you feel like you would act with a sister: a little bit of bantering, but always lots of love when she wants to give it.”
— Emily Shao ('26)
Geniya Parker
“One would typically describe their beloved grandma with knit cardigans, antiquated words, and slightly unfunny humor. Coincidentally, this perfectly encapsulates our beloved senior, Geniya Lee Parker! Over the years, Geniya has accumulated a wide vocabulary from her…”
Triet Pham

Andy Qi
“Andy is a highly intelligent man who is academically gifted, and athletically talented even if he doesn’t put in all the effort ahahaha. He is kind, funny, and a respectable person who always has his door open. Sometimes he can raise his voice, but it really is just his confidence showing off.

— Mikey Pino ('26)
Brianna Stodghill
“The reason Brianna and I have stayed close since kindergarten, and the reason I was never surprised when she got into such amazing schools, is the same: her passion and determination show in everything she does. Her work ethic pushes everyone around her to be better, and above all, she’s endlessly kind and humble.”
— Kaitlyn Wanland ('26)

— Danielle Salako ('26)
Candice Tang
“Although Candice is very quiet in class, she has a loud personality, knows exactly what she wants, and acts on it. She has impacted my view on life and taught me the importance of stepping outside of my comfort zone to try new things.”
— Anna Park ('26)

— Jerry Chen ('26)
Connor Woertink
“Connor is the most curious (euphemism for nosy) friend I know, but I think it stems from a place of genuine care. He would want to know everything about your life; from every interaction you've had on a hangout with someone else to every syllable spoken to you in a dream. He also fervently supports people's distasteful delusions while harboring arguably more distasteful delusions.”
— Sophia Ma ('26)
Simon Xu
“He is always himself and genuine. Nothing about what he tells you is fake or because he thinks that’s what you want to hear. He’ll tell you things straight up, but he’ll also always help you through it all.”
— Jayden Kuo ('26)
Benjamin Xu
“没有事儿。”
— Jack Yuan ('26)

— Mikey Pino ('26) & Michael Albornoz ('26)
Michael Ye

— Larry Zhou ('26)
Jack Yuan
“He is a very smart man. Jack is an interesting and fun person to be around. And Jack is jacked.”
— Harry Chow ('26)
Marc Zambrano
“I feel like whenever someone is asked to describe Marc, the response is usually along the lines of ‘he has a calming presence,’ which I could not agree with more. He’s one of those friends you can instantly connect with no matter how long you’ve known him or how much time has passed.”
— Kaitlyn Wanland ('26)
Andrew Zhang
“Andrew seems to have everything figured out. He inspires as a friend, as an innovator and someone that seeks new knowledge in whatever field he's interested in.
