Both have résumés that would be the envy of any high school graduate: sterling grades, hours of volunteering, awards galore.
But beyond their personal goals, Jedesa Alatorre and Haide Hernandez also share a particular passion for helping others — not only their peers at St. Mary’s Academy in Inglewood, but those in the community.
Members of the Class of 2025 at St. Mary’s, the oldest continuously operating Catholic high school in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, Alatorre and Hernandez both plan to pursue careers in health care after college.
