The LPS Class of 2026 Senior Superlative winners take the trophy and the mic.

In this candid interview montage, each winner shares their superlative, their reaction to being chosen by classmates, and what the recognition means as senior year begins to wind down.

From proud moments to unexpected laughs, these quick interviews capture a defining snapshot of our first graduating class in its final chapter.

Congratulations to our first class of Senior Superlative winners.
