Meet Katerina

Meet Katerina ’24 — Scholar, Leader, Global Citizen

At the Academy of the Holy Angels, students are encouraged to explore their passions, challenge themselves, and make a lasting impact. Katerina ’24 did just that—and more.

A gifted writer, dancer, and scholar, Katerina earned a place on the Principal’s List every year and graduated as an AP Scholar with Honors. She was a proud member of multiple honor societies, including the National Honor Society, Mu Alpha Theta, Science National Honor Society, National Social Studies Honor Society, and Sociedad Honoraria Hispánica. In her junior year, she received the prestigious Dartmouth College Alumni Book Award.

Katerina’s love for writing extended far beyond the classroom. She was an award-winning poet, editor of the world news section of the AHA Voice, and a founding member of the AHA Writers’ Society. She even wrote a novel during her time at Columbia University’s Summer Immersion Program.

Her leadership and cultural pride also shone through in her community involvement. As president of the Greek Cultural Society and an active member of the Greek Orthodox Youth Association, she organized fundraisers like the White Out Cancer Dance, which raised over $30,000. She also danced competitively with Team Opa Paithia, helping her group earn second place at the Folk Dance Federation National Competition.

Katerina was a Girl Scout Gold Award candidate and recipient of the Alpha Omega Award from the Eastern Orthodox Committee on Scouting. She dedicated her time to serving others, volunteering at the Community FoodBank of New Jersey and tutoring local children each week.

On campus, Katerina led with purpose. She was captain of the Debate Team, a member of Junior State of America and Equality Now, and part of the Middle States Planning Team, working with faculty and peers to guide school improvement efforts. As a student ambassador, she welcomed future Angels and represented the best of what AHA has to offer. She also completed externships in psychotherapy, medicine, and business through the Angel Advantage program.

Now attending Boston College, Katerina carries with her the values, confidence, and drive she cultivated at Holy Angels.

She is proof that an Angel’s journey doesn’t end at graduation—it takes flight.
