Finn Thompson, ’26

May 11, 2026

Finn Thompson ’26 is the kind of student who leads through consistency, character, and quiet integrity. Every day, he walks into class with a smile, works hard from beginning to end, and leaves by thanking his teacher. While those actions may seem small, they reflect the kind of person Finn is: respectful, genuine, and intentional in the way he carries himself.

Academically, Finn is deeply committed to learning. Teachers consistently describe him as focused, prepared, and intellectually curious. He takes his studies seriously, not simply to earn good grades, but because he genuinely wants to grow in his understanding. In AP Literature, Finn routinely comes to class ready to engage with difficult ideas, asking thoughtful questions and contributing meaningful insights during discussions and Socratic Seminars. Even during the height of his athletic season, he remained fully invested in the curriculum and consistently demonstrated mastery of the material.

Finn’s work ethic is equally impressive. He is thorough on routine assignments and often goes above and beyond on larger projects, pushing himself to think more deeply and refine his skills. Teachers note that he advocates for himself when he needs help, while also stepping in to support classmates who may be struggling. One teacher shared that “if I were building an academic community from scratch, Finn would be the keystone piece.”

What stands out most about Finn, however, is his integrity. More than once, teachers have witnessed him standing up for others when it would have been easier to stay quiet. Whether defending a teacher from unfair criticism or reminding classmates to take responsibility for their own actions, Finn consistently chooses honesty and respect. As one teacher wrote, “He is truly a man of integrity, which is often hard to find in a building full of teenage boys.”

Finn is also known for the kindness and positivity he brings to each day. He is humble, compassionate, and thoughtful in the way he interacts with both peers and teachers. His classmates respect him not because he seeks attention, but because of the example he sets through his actions.

Simply put, Finn models what a Central Catholic senior should be: hardworking, respectful, engaged, and principled. For his academic dedication, his quiet leadership, and the integrity he demonstrates each day, we are proud to recognize Finn Thompson as this week’s Viking of the Week
