More than 200 students received recognition for their academic achievements on Thursday morning at La Salle High School’s Academic Awards ceremony on January 25, 2018. Jaime Kwong, Class of 2014 and recently awarded 2018 Marshall Scholar recipient spoke to the student body, faculty, and select chairs of the Boards of Regents and Trustees about her Lasallian experience.
