Juniors and Seniors participated in the annual Interscholastic Colloquium today, hosted by The Hockaday School. Each student read “House on Mango Street” by Sandra Cisneros and wrote an academic research paper focusing on a topic brought about by the text. Students from across the Metroplex presented and discussed their work.
Cistercian presenters and other participants did a marvelous job at the colloquium. A big thanks to the Hockaday School for hosting, and to the author, Sandra Cisneros, for being present at the colloquium. It was a real treat for the students to hear her give the keynote address and to meet her afterwards. Cisneros is a recent recipient of the PEN/Nabokov Award for Achievement in International Literature.
