The Class of 2025 nominated nine members of their class this spring to represent them in the alumni community. Mel Butler, Asher Schenk, Juliette Katz, Andrew Zuckerman, Olivia Harris, Avani Shah, Maddy Levy, Carla McSweeney, and Michael Gray assisted in planning the Senior Luncheon and led outreach efforts for the senior class gift. Thanks to their leadership, the class decided to make their gift in honor of Latin’s faculty and staff.
Melissa (Mel) Butler is planning to attend DePauw University to study acting and biology. Her favorite memory at Latin was joining past theater students in signing the dressing rooms and reflecting on the 15+ shows she performed in during her time at Latin.
Asher Schenk will be attending Duke University. His favorite memories include his freshman, sophomore, and senior year Project Weeks.
Juliette Katz will be attending Columbia University and remembers the Homecoming games most fondly.
Andrew Zuckerman is planning to attend Northeastern University and especially enjoyed Ms. Hennessy’s Project Week.
Olivia Harris will be heading to Emory University in Atlanta. She cherishes the senior retreat for the time spent outdoors and bonding with classmates.
Avani Shah is attending NYU. Her favorite memories include getting close to different groups of people throughout her time at Latin.
Maddy Levy plans to attend the University of Michigan this fall and loved getting to know the faculty and staff.
Carla McSweeney will be playing hockey at Harvard University. She especially enjoyed her Chicago Politics field trips and doing hip mobility exercises in the gym.
Last but not least, Michael Gray will be attending NYU in the fall. His favorite memories include his Project Week in Florence, Italy, touring the Medici Palace and Boboli Gardens.
Thank you to all of our senior class representatives! They are truly, Roman Rockstars!

Chloe Himmel ’04 was recently honored with the Department of Homeland Security Secretary’s Award for Leadership Excellence in 2024 for her outstanding service as Chief of Staff for Legislative Affairs at DHS.
Reflecting on her time at Latin, Chloe shared that the school not only provided her with a rigorous academic foundation that set her up for success in college and her professional career but, more importantly, as a late bloomer, it was Latin’s dedicated teachers who recognized her potential and empowered her to develop a strong sense of self. Through their encouragement, she came to recognize her unique strengths and her ability to contribute meaningfully to the world.
Chloe credits Latin’s commitment to experiential learning, through opportunities like debate, student government, and community service, with giving her invaluable firsthand experience in leadership and civic engagement. Her time at Latin not only sharpened her intellectual curiosity but also gave her the confidence to pursue a career in public service.
She fondly remembers Dr. Fript as one of the most influential teachers in her Latin experience. Among her most meaningful memories is delivering a speech to the assembly debating the discriminatory enforcement of the dress code. She also looks back warmly on the Reindeer Games and her involvement in field hockey and soccer, describing her time at Latin as impactful, empowering, and confidence-building.
