Chloe with the Barmore Scholarship Committee, and current and past club presidents

Chloe has done theatre for all four years of high school. She has been majorly involved and has held officer positions for Thespians all the years she has participated. She was in charge of organizing significant events for our troupe, like the county districts competition. She has also been a part of the student government for all four years and president yearly. Chloe led weekly meetings and planned school events, like school dances, spirit weeks, etc. This club has helped Chloe create a bridge between staff and students by constantly communicating with school staff and speaking on behalf of our student body. She has been in cheerleading for three years, which is all you can be. She was nominated as captain this past school year, which gave her the responsibility of leading practice, helping grow our team community, and creating team energy to reflect on the school.

She was passionate about making school fun and enjoyable for her peers. As student body president, she has always found it necessary to do events and spirit days in their favor. Chloe thinks that enjoying school is so important for teenagers because it can be a difficult time in their lives. She wanted the people around her to enjoy these four years and create long-lasting memories, and Chloe loved seeing other students enjoying themselves at school events. She took her presidential role very seriously and tried to promote positive change as much as possible. Encouraging people not to be tardy by brainstorming with our staff about incentives for being on time. She also urged people to attend "senior sunrise" events to promote community building. She loved going to school and aimed to share that love and pass it down to future classes.

Chloe, we wish you the best in your studies!
