NDALA

On Monday, May 18th, we celebrated as two of our Regal student-athletes signed to continue their academic and athletic careers at the college level!

Lidia C. will head to the beach to play soccer at Santa Monica College ⚽️🌴

We are grateful for the examples that each of these girls have set and are profoundly excited to cheer them on as they take the next step.

Way to go, Lidia and Sophia!

We are so proud of all they have accomplished and cannot wait to see the impact they make in the world. Once a Regal, always a Regal.

Their advice to younger students: enjoy high school, attend the events, try new things, and lean into the opportunities around you. The friendships, support system, and memories you build along the way become some of the most meaningful parts of the NDA experience.

From Academic Decathlon and volleyball to the drama program, leadership opportunities, internships, and lifelong friendships, these seniors reflected on the experiences that shaped them most during their time at NDA. Many shared that the support of their teachers made all the difference, whether through mentorship, networking opportunities, encouragement, or simply believing in them when they needed it most.
Their advice to the future Class of 2030:
Join clubs. Get involved. Connect with people. Don’t be afraid to fail, because failure is often where the biggest growth happens. Grades matter, but they do not define who you are. And sometimes the problems that feel huge right now become much smaller with time, perspective, and support.
We are so proud of these Regals and cannot wait to see where their journeys lead next. ✨

From CIF championships ✨and Academic Decathlon 💫medals to theatre productions, rocket launches, creativity, leadership, and friendships🫶🏻 that will last long after graduation — the Class of 2026 has made its mark on NDA in unforgettable ways. ✨
Many seniors reflected on how NDA helped them grow into confident young women willing to try new things, take chances, and discover passions they never expected, whether that meant finding their voice on stage through NDA Theatre, competing at the highest level in academics and athletics, or simply finding a place where they truly belonged.
We are so proud to celebrate our Regals as they continue their journeys at New York University, University of California, Irvine, University of Arizona, University of California, Merced, Pennsylvania State University, Fordham University, University of California, Berkeley, University of Edinburgh, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and University of California, Davis. ❤️🤍
