Mundelein High School senior, Jisel Gomez, has been selected as a National Hispanic Scholar, sponsored by the College Board. The selection is similar in level to the National Merit Scholar program and is recognized by universities who will provide scholarships much like they do for National Merit finalists.
Gomez has been involved in a number of activities during her four years at MHS. She is the co-president of Link Crew which she has been involved with for two years, she is the vice president of the Mundelein After School Coalition which has been on for four years, Secretary of Interact, another of her four-year commitments. She also was a member of National Honor Society, Student Leadership and Best Buddies.
Outside of school, Gomez went on two Mission trips to St. Louis and Detroit Lakes, MN working with the Catholic Heart Workcamp. She was a guest services volunteer at Advocate Condell Medical Center and currently works as a high school page intern at Cook Memorial Library.
Gomez is considering Loyola, Northwestern and the University of Illinois where she will be a pre-med bio major.
“One of my favorite memories from MHS is being part of Link Crew for the past two years and to participate in freshman orientation,” Gomez explained. “There is so much school spirit and excitement among the upperclassmen and incoming freshmen on that day,” she said.
