December Student of the Month

Congratulations to Crystal Augustine, Linfield’s December 2025 Student of the Month! Crystal is an extraordinary young woman who has left a remarkable legacy on our campus through her unwavering dedication, strength of character, and heart for service. Not only is she a brilliant, motivated student who has excelled academically with a very challenging course load, she is an exceptional competitor (and captain) on Linfield’s debate team and a student ambassador, and she has been part of ASB, chapel band, and yearbook. She also founded the Be the Change Club and went on last year’s Costa Rica Mission Trip, where she served with a humble and compassionate heart. Crystal is someone who truly sees and values others, and she is deeply intentional in relationships. In fact, she notes that one of her favorite Linfield memories was going to the RISE senior retreat because she was able to reconnect with all of the people she grew up with in her eight years at Linfield. She says, “It's really easy for people to grow distant as high school progresses. There’s just a lot going on! But RISE was a time when I was able to chat with familiar faces and rebuild relationships I had before.”

Crystal is unfailingly kind, genuine, and thoughtful, and she simply shines with the light and joy of Christ. She positively impacts everyone she encounters, and through her integrity and leadership, she makes Linfield a better place. We are so proud to celebrate her this month! She will also be honored by the Temecula Chamber of Commerce, city officials, and local sponsors at a special breakfast.
