In particular, Michelle is looking forward to Mr. Palm Desert, an event she enjoys attending every year because “the boys are always so precious!

Senior Sierra Jessup, this year’s treasurer, has been in ASB for only two years, though she wishes that she would have joined earlier.

This year, she encourages everyone to get into the school spirit and to attend events, because high school goes by so fast.

Secretary Ethan Horne is the lone junior on the executive board. His main role is to record the money that goes in and out of the school for athletics and ASB events.
