Student of the Year 2025

Loyola is proud to announce Ezekiel “Zeke” Savant as the Student of the Year for the 2025-26 Academic Year! Finalists included Bishop Doege, Gabrielle Ghali, Sadie Green, Jett Robinson, Grace Shepherd, and Hart Snyder

“Zeke is the kind of student every school hopes to have,” Dr. Laurie Salvail, Principal, said. “He leads quietly, serves consistently, and pushes himself to excel in and out of the classroom. His academic record speaks for itself, but it’s his character, humility, and willingness to go above and beyond that truly set him apart. We’re proud to recognize him as Student of the Year.”

Zeke is a F.Ai.T.H. Chairman, a member of the National Honors Society, as well as member of Fellowship of Christian Athletes. He is a vital member of the boys varsity soccer team for the last four years and was nominated to the Louisiana Freshman All-State soccer team in 2023. 

Each year the faculty nominates five finalists who are then interviewed by the Student of the Year Committee. These students are all class leaders, excel academically, and exhibit Loyola’s three pillars: student involvement, academic excellence, and faith in action. 

Zeke will go on to compete at the district level and hopefully advance to the regional and state competitions. Students are required to submit a comprehensive portfolio, conduct another round of interviews, and are judged on leadership activities, recognition, service and citizenship.
