One of the many things that people love to do during summer are trips whether it’s for a sport or vacation, students love to go all across the world.
Sophomore Ava Bengochea talked about her summer plans mentioned “I’m staying busy with a lot of dance and cheer practices and trips coming up such as a cruise going to Cabo, Palm Springs, CA, and Zyon in UT for a retreat”.
“I’ll be in Europe visiting my family and friends and hopefully go to this one concert I really want to go to” David Ensign 27’ said.
Sophia Tevevaugh ‘28 goes somewhere new with her family every year, “I’m going to be in Macedonia for a month and I just know it’s going to be so much fun,”.
Another common thing students love to do during summer is play sports especially when you don’t have the stress of homework and assignments.
A lot of students here at Bishop Gorman are going to be traveling the country for tournaments including Georgia, California and Arizona.
Iolana Reilly ‘27 will be traveling to California for a series of many soccer tournaments. “Those tournaments are always really fun with my friends and teammates” said Reilly. Adding on, she’ll be going to Hawaii and spend some of her summer there.
