Ronnie is a freshman at La Cueva High School this year and is already being classified as one of the best young running backs to play in New Mexico in several years. Ronnie is a multi skilled athlete who is as talented in basketball and track and field as he is in football.
With all the distractions that accompany being a highly regarded athlete, Ronnie stays focused in the classrooms and maintains a 3.5 GPA.
He identifies his role models from within his family. "My Granddad (Charles Evans) and my older brother Ryan are my role models. They teach me the things that I need to know in life in order to be successful. My goal is to go to a division 1 college and to play either basketball or football. My goal academically would be to achieve a 3.5 or higher GPA throughout high school."
Ronnie is not sure of what his career areas of study will be but he is leaning toward the areas of Business and Marketing.
"I have established a good foundation in football and basketball and have been very successful in track. I have accumulated a great set of friends and I have a strong support group of family members. I am not concerned with my awards or honors. I just love athletic competition and sports have been good to me," said Ronnie. Shiana Saint-Lot is a junior at Del Norte High School.

Shiana has 3 brothers, Talal, Kareem, and Jameel. "Me and my family moved to New Mexico because there were political problems in Haiti. The president was ousted in 2004 and life was very unstable. Schools were closed for long periods at a time and there were kidnappings and killings everyday," shared Shiana.
Shiana is an exceptional student who has a 4.4 G.P.A. She has been a straight A student throughout high school. Last year she was the M.V.P. for the Del Norte volleyball team and this year she is the team captain. She is also the president of the Black Student Union at Del Norte, and is also a member of the tennis team.
Her role models are her parents she says, "Because they have struggled through so many situations but they have still been able to succeed and provide my siblings and me with a great life. My goals are to graduate from high school and college. I want to go back to Haiti someday and help its people by either creating jobs or raising awareness of the problems plaguing the country. I don't know what I want to major in yet but I am looking at psychology. I plan to get married and have children."Tyrus L. Sanders is a senior at West Mesa High School.
