Four Saints Earn Top Finishes at State Literary Rally

April 28th, 2026


Four St. Martin’s students secured first or second place honors at the State Literary Rally held at Louisiana State University on April 18. This group of Saints rose to the top of the state’s premier academic competition, earning two state championships and two state runner-up finishes.
 
Please join us in celebrating:
  • Grayson Lambert ’27: Calculus I (1st Place)
  • Bay Bowes ’29: English I (1st Place)
  • Kimberley Ortiz ’27: Chemistry (2nd Place)
  • Evie Dicasali ’29: French II (2nd Place)
These high-ranking state results follow an equally impressive performance at the Southeast Louisiana District Literary Rally in March. After achieving a perfect 100% advancement rate at the district level, our students proved they belong among the best in Louisiana across both STEM and the humanities.
Congratulations to these Saints for representing our tradition of academic excellence so well on the state stage.
