Delia was also a member of National Honor Society, National Science Honor Society, Mu Alpha Theta, and the Science Bowl team. She was captain of the Sea Lion swim team her senior year and team MVP both junior and senior years. She completed more than 200 hours of community service at the Cinco Ranch Alzheimer's Clinic and St. Bartholomew Parish, where she taught a kindergarten CCE class.

During his time at St. John XXIII College Preparatory, Kevin was active in National Honor Society, Spanish National Honor Society (VP), Mu Alpha Theta, Science National Honor Society and the Technology Student Association (Treasurer).
He was also co-captain of the drum line and competed with the band at the state and regional level earning several Superior ratings in ensemble and soloist (percussion). He is active in his parish, Sacred Heart in Pattison, where he has been an altar server for 10 years and volunteered for various parish projects and events.
In addition to his parish, Perilla's community service has included the Houston Food Bank, clean-up weekends at Olivewood Cemetery and summer volunteer at the Westview School. His dream is to find a way to combine his love of music with his passion for engineering.
