Seniors at Geneva School of Boerne write and defend a thesis as the last step toward graduation. The senior thesis is a dissertation in which the student advances an original point of view, typically on a controversial topic. Seniors begin the academic year by selecting a topic with help from their faculty adviser. Topics then are researched and a final draft is submitted before the student prepares for the oral presentation. This year, the 54 seniors presented and defended their theses and Lily Langenbahn, left,daughter of Ashley and Bobby Langenbahn of Boerne, was recognized as the 2022 winner of the G.K. Chesterton Award for the best overall senior thesis presentation for her thesis titled "Healthcare for Some: A Case for Expanding Access to Affordable, Quality Healthcare in the United States." Other finalists were Jacob Dishongh, Corban Fikes, Garrett Fritcher, Julianna Goodman, Chloe Higgs, Micah Howard, Gwyneth Lewellyn, Lauren McDaniel, Anna Beth Muck, Nicolas Siller and Elizabeth Walter.
