Sophia Liporace is a senior at Benjamin and the Co-Editor-in-Chief of The Pharcyde. This is her fourth year as a member of the team and her fourteenth year at Benjamin. Sophia loves how The Pharcyde gives her the opportunity to celebrate the School’s many triumphs and challenge some of its decisions, and how she has been gifted the skills and the platform to reach students and faculty in the Benjamin community in order to help the School improve. Sophia is also the captain of the School's varsity dance team, the Dazzlers, and is involved in NHS, Buc Ambassadors, and the Spanish club.
