Four students walked into their first Student Council meeting this month with something most councils lack from the very beginning: a clear sense of what they want to leave behind. "We don't want to be remembered for the events we organised," President Ana Torres told The Lumen Lantern. "We want to be remembered for how we made people feel at school."
From a school-wide culture festival planned for May to a new open-door policy with the principal's office, the 2026 council has hit the ground running. Their goals are ambitious. Whether they can pull them off is a story The Lantern will follow all year long...

Universities across Latin America and North America are quietly overhauling their admissions criteria as artificial intelligence reshapes academic integrity. The changes are already affecting how students in Paraguay and abroad approach their senior year. Counsellors at Lumen say they have seen a 40% increase in questions about AI policy in college essays. The story of how technology is redefining academic honesty begins right here in our own classrooms — and extends all the way to boardrooms debating what "original work" even means anymore.
"Banning phones from classrooms without involving students in the decision is not a policy — it's a punishment."
"Lumen has been here for 30 years. The question now is: what kind of school do we want it to be for the next 30?"
"Climate action shouldn't wait for graduation. The most powerful thing we can do right now is be informed and speak up."
