Chloe has been involved in 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, such as the county district competition. She has also been a part of the student government for all four years, serving as president each year. Chloe led weekly meetings and planned school events, such as school dances and spirit weeks. This club has helped Chloe create a bridge between staff and students by constantly communicating with school staff and speaking on behalf of the student body. She has been in cheerleading for three years, which is all you can be. She was nominated as captain during her last school year, which gave her the responsibility of leading practices, helping to grow our team community, and creating team energy that reflected positively on the school.

She was passionate about making school fun and enjoyable for her peers. As student body president, she has consistently organized events and spirit days in their favor. Chloe believes that enjoying school is crucial for teenagers because it can be a challenging time in their lives. She wanted the people around her to enjoy these four years and create lasting memories, and Chloe loved seeing other students having fun 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 punctuality. 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!
