Harper Coleman is a sophomore who originally came to La Salle because of her older brother. She has lived in Portland for nearly her whole life, and before arriving at La Salle, she attended St. Agatha Catholic School from pre-K on.

This is her first semester of journalism, and she is an active member of La Salle’s theater program as an actor and crew member. Harper loves the passionate environment of the theater and the people in it, and plans to stick with it for the rest of her time at La Salle.

Harper also participates in the peer tutoring and ambassador programs, and she loves to travel. So far, Harper has been to 15 states, and wants to eventually visit the rest.

Harper’s interests include music, her favorite band being Gorillaz. Harper also enjoys reading books and watching movies with her family, as movie nights are a big part of her family life. Her favorite genres of both books and movies are horror and sci-fi, and she has an interest in science and space.

She enjoys taking road trips and hiking in national parks such as Arches and Zion because of the peace that nature brings her. Harper wants to go to college in the medicinal field after La Salle, and hopes to become a pediatrician and run her own clinic.
