Dillon Lopez is a thespian, creator, and a hard worker who has been selected by his peers as a homecoming finalist. Lopez was excited to receive the big news and he was certainly glad to be given the opportunity along with the many great other candidates beside him.

“My mom is very proud and she likes to brag to her friends. I just feel so lucky for this opportunity,” Lopez said. “I would like to thank my parents for supporting me, my girlfriend Nina Bashmakian for being my number one fan, and every single one of my friends.”

Lopez is very active around CHS by being involved in many extracurricular activities such as Musical Theater, Chamber Singers, as well as serving as a Comedy Sports manager and French Club officer. Not only is he involved with school run activities, but Lopez also has other activities outside of schools including rock climbing at Hangar Eighteen and roller skating from time to time.

His interests include hanging out with friends, going to the beach on hot sunny days with the people that he enjoys being around, occupying himself with different activities as much as possible, and being apart of theater. Lopez enjoys theater because he can express his passion for performing in front of others. “I’ve been doing theater for like my whole life, so going to CHS and being a part of the theater, by growing more, and learning through the whole experience is great,” Lopez said.

Lopez believes that it is an honor to be elected as a finalist and that he is happy to be apart of something so amazing.
