LAUREN SANTA CRUZ CAME TO
PALMER TRINITY SCHOOL IN THE
7
TH
GRADE BECAUSE SHE WAS IN
SEARCH OF SOMETHING MORE.
She begged her mother to let her transfer to
PTS, where her brother and friends attended.
ankfully, Lauren made the move to
Palmer Trinity School, which proved to be
the perfect fit for her. During her time here
she played volleyball, soccer, basketball, and
softball. She participated in summer camp
and photography, and reveled in the wide
range of subjects and diverse student body
at Palmer Trinity School. Lauren looks
back on her time at PTS fondly: "Everyone
was friends with everyone, and teachers were
invested in student success. e campus was
great back then, but now it looks even more
beautiful," she remarked.
One class that stood out to Lauren during
her attendance at Palmer Trinity School was
her psychology class, taught by Paul Dean.
Lauren had long set her mind on becoming a
psychologist. Chasing that dream, she selected
University of Miami to commence her studies,
with an intention to acquire her PhD in
psychology. But during her last year of college
at UM, her path suddenly turned.
