Chris Bonilla

Young Eisner Scholars

Chris Bonilla was part of the first class of students that Eric Eisner mentored. They met in 1999, while Chris was a seventh grader at Lennox Middle School. The following year, Chris became the first of Eric’s students to be admitted to a private school when Brentwood School invited him to attend the ninth grade there. Chris went on to attend Columbia University in the City of New York and graduated in 2009 with a B.A. in History. Having earned a degree, Chris came home to Lennox to give back to the community he holds dear by re-joining Eric Eisner at YES (Young Eisner Scholars). Chris plans on attending law school this fall.
