JOLIET – Twenty-four international student ambassadors from Joliet Catholic Academy high school along with two chaperones, Lauren Finaldi and Ellen Herron, completed the second half of a short-term exchange with a Catholic high school in Vilanova, Spain.

This is the third year JCA has participated in the exchange program. Participants lived with families of local Vilanova high schoolers who traveled from Spain in the fall to experience the Joliet Catholic Academy tradition.

Students from JCA went to school and attended classes with their host brother/sister. Several students participated in the content of specific courses such as math, science, and English. The students also saw many famous sites.

JCA participants included juniors  Breanna Akre, Casey Corless,  Kaci Courtwright, Mia Farrell, Thomas Hilke, Lena Rodriguez,  Madelyn Tyler, Kaitlyn Williams and Matt Vonch along with seniors  Nataly Cardenas, Samantha DeBenedetti, Emily Demick, Ryan Gulden, Molly Gunning, Dalton Jones, Jacey Lambert,  Connor McNulty, Renee McTee, Alex Mihalakakos, Kaitlin Papesh, Michelle Poplawski, Madeline Seneker,  Amy Thompson and Adriana Trizna.
