On this final Tiger Tuesday of the 2025-26 school year, we’re celebrating **Class of 2026 Holden Demain**—because apparently graduating, being accepted to Princeton, playing Tiger basketball, giving heartfelt speeches to UD students at Shabbaton, helping lead his team to a Color War Victory. and wrapping up a term as Student Council President wasn’t quite enough for one spring. 🐯✨

We are so incredibly proud to share that Holden has advanced to the **finalist stage of the U.S. Presidential Scholars Program**, one of the nation’s highest honors for graduating high school seniors.

Students cannot apply directly for this recognition. Candidates are identified nationally and then evaluated through a highly competitive process that looks not only at academic achievement, but also leadership, service, character, essays, and impact in their school and community. From there, the field narrows dramatically—with just **two students from each state ultimately selected as U.S. Presidential Scholars.** 

Holden is currently **one of only 10 seniors in Colorado** to advance to this stage.

And if you know Holden, you know this recognition totally tracks. 

Outgoing Student Council President. Former Senate Page. Future Princeton student. Thoughtful leader. Big ideas. Strong opinions (occasionally delivered at impressive speed). Someone who consistently shows up and makes this community stronger.

No matter what happens next, this is an extraordinary accomplishment.

Mazel tov, Holden—your whole Tiger family is cheering you on!
