Natasha Gonzalez Palacios is a student leader at Eagle Valley High School in Colorado whose passion for service, leadership, and community empowerment is deeply rooted in her Latino heritage and family values. As Secretary of the National Honor Society, a member of the National Art Honor Society, Student Council leader, bilingual tutor, and student-athlete on her school’s soccer team, Natasha has dedicated herself to uplifting others both inside and outside the classroom. She has organized schoolwide events, mentored younger students through the Snowboard Outreach Society, and helped raise thousands of dollars for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
