Eli Batcheller, Assistant Editor
Eli Batcheller is currently a junior. Eli lived in Oregon City for around 16 years, until moving to Oak Grove in the summer after his Sophomore year.
His favorite part of all of his classes are his friends around him that he has been able to make. One of the most important things he finds is the community at La Salle in all aspects.
He originally chose to go to La Salle because of his older sister, and because of the quality of education compared to public school. When he got to La Salle, he found more than he expected, finding great friends and a good community that he could immerse himself in.
Eli loves listening to music and talking and spending time with his friends — some of his favorite activities being going to the river or getting clothes, especially with friends. His favorite artist is Frank Ocean, someone he has always loved.
![Now in her 26th year of teaching, Ms. Amy Gantt emphasizes that education is about helping others. “I hope for [students] to see that they had adults in their life who cared about them and who supported them and who were looking out for their wellbeing,” she said.](https://lasallefalconer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_1176-1200x800.jpeg)
