Local Student Makes President's List At Gonzaga University

Xavier College Preparatory High School graduate Molly McNulty kept up good grades during her first semester at Gonzaga University, earning her a spot on the school's President's List.

McNulty, who was the salutatorian among the first graduating class of 60 students from the Palm Desert-based school, maintained a 3.70 to 4.0 GPA for the past semester, according to Laura Hall, Xavier's communications coordinator.

McNulty is a double major in English and History and has been selected to participate in Gonzaga’s Comprehensive Leadership program for the class of 2014.

"Each year Gonzaga selects one cohort of freshman to work together with sophomores, juniors and seniors to learn and apply leadership skills,'' Hall said. "Of the over 200 students who apply each year approximately 40 are chosen."

Gonzaga University is a private, Jesuit, Catholic University in Spokane, Wash.
