Homecoming Court: Paola Garcia

Isla Bulmer, Co-Head Features Editor • October 18, 2025

Senior class president, head captain of both the varsity sideline and competitive cheer team, and self-proclaimed princess- there is nothing Paola Garcia can not do (except eat nuts, as she is allergic). Those who know Garcia know that of the many talents she possesses, her outgoing personality and ability to connect with anyone she meets are among her biggest attributes. When asked her thoughts on being a Homecoming finalist, Garcia said,

“I am just grateful that the student body believed I should be in the top ten. I think that if I were to win, it would symbolize that I have left a positive mark on the school, and it would make me feel extremely seen and loved.”

Garcia has certainly left a positive mark through her immense participation and unwavering drive to help within the community. On campus, Garcia is involved in a multitude of activities, aside from cheer captain and class president, Garcia has been a valuable member of the track team for four years. She is also the president and founder of ‘Hands of Hope’, a club dedicated to donating to and creating care packages for patients at the Pomona Valley Hospital. In addition, Garcia is president of the club ‘Say Yes to the Dress’, co-president of Claremont High School’s National Honor Society, and has been an outside reporter for the Wolfpacket for three years.

“I would not rather be doing anything else, I love being extremely involved and busy,” said Garcia, “One of my passions is giving back to the community that has shaped who I am today.”

Garcia would like to thank her parents for creating endless opportunities- making the sky the limit, her twin brother, Luca, for always looking out for her best interest, and her friends Fifi and Isla for always being there for her.

About the Contributors

Isla Bulmer, Head Features Editor

Isla Bulmer is a senior at Claremont High School and is excited to take on a Features Editor role. Bulmer first entered The Wolfpacket her sophomore year, but as a questionable decision-making junior, took a temporary leave to pursue IB Art. Upon leaving, Bulmer, like most CHS students, had a Wolfpacket shaped hole in her heart and when the opportunity presented itself, applied to be an editor for the 2025-2026 school year. Outside of room 104, Bulmer holds positions in a plethora of clubs across campus, including Artzy Fartzy, National Honors Society, Interact, and Voice for Change. Bulmer enjoys embarking on anything that includes hot glue or a sewing needle, and has nothing but optimism to take her artistic aspirations onto the Wolfpacket’s center spread. In the past four years, Bulmer has managed to build up a tolerance for running, she has possibly even begun to enjoy it, and is elated to be a captain of CHS’s Varsity Cross Country and Track teams. Bulmer feels ready for senior year, and can not wait to begin making an impact on The Wolfpacket.
