Senate Resolution No. by Senator Duplessis commends Elijah Hogan, a high school senior from Louisiana, for his exceptional academic achievements and resilience. Graduating at the top of his class with a GPA of 3.9688 from Walter L. Cohen High School in New Orleans, Elijah's journey is particularly inspiring as he has faced homelessness for the past year and a half. His determination and hard work exemplify the spirit of perseverance, and he credits his success to the support he received from the Covenant House, his extended family, and the staff at his school.

Elijah's story serves as a powerful example of overcoming adversity, and he has been awarded a full scholarship to Xavier University, where he plans to major in graphic design. The resolution not only recognizes his remarkable accomplishments but also aims to inspire other young people to pursue their dreams despite challenging circumstances. The Senate extends its heartfelt congratulations to Elijah and wishes him continued success in his future endeavors. A copy of the resolution will be transmitted to him.
