My name is Sam Allen and I’m running to be Commissioner General because I strongly believe that students deserve more than representation, but real advocacy. I want to use this position to bring your voices directly to the administration. Real change doesn’t happen when we assume our concerns will be addressed, but when we speak up, organize and ensure that the people making decisions hear the voices of the people that they affect.
As the highest position in ASB, this role serves as a direct line of contact admin. I intend to use that access, not only to share student concerns, but to represent the values and beliefs of the student body itself. Change happens when decisions reflect the people that they impact. That means reaching out to every voice on campus, creating schoolwide surveys together with real data, holding student forums, meetings, where students can speak about their own experiences, and bringing that evidence forward to show when change is needed, and help to guide real solutions. Too often, students feel as if their decisions are made about them rather than with them.
As the only candidate with a full year of experience on commission, I’ve seen how powerful intentional communication can be. Through Youth and Government and serving as the Senior Patrol Leader of my scout troop, I’ve learned that leadership means listening first and acting second. Advocacy requires more than attending meetings, but speaking up even when it feels uncomfortable.
I’m not running to hope that change will happen. I’m running to make sure that your voice is heard where decisions are made because when students speak together, administration listens.
Hi everyone! My name is Abby and I am running to be your next Commissioner General. I am running for this position because I want to use my platform to advocate for every student at SPHS.
I’ve had the privilege of being the sophomore and junior class vice president, a role that I’ve learned to grow into over the past two years. I’ve spent countless hours painting posters, designing content for social media, organizing fundraisers, and working with ASB, administration, and the student body.
I am inspired to run because I see the potential for change within our community, which is built on three core values — communication, collaboration, and creativity. My experience in ASB has taught me the importance of implementing these values in order to lead with intention. If elected, I will apply these to any task I face.
At school, aside from ASB, I lead clubs such as TASA and SPARK, run cross country, and am a varsity swim captain. Each of these experiences have provided me with the opportunity to get to know our school, teaching me how to be a well-rounded leader. I’ve learned to listen, remain open minded, be goal-oriented, and stay disciplined in order to persevere through challenges and make a positive impact. I know that I am prepared to step into this role and promise to represent all of our voices as your Commissioner General.
Thank you so much for considering my candidacy, and don’t forget to vote Abby for general this Friday!
Hi Tigers! My name is Liam Painter, and I am running to be your Commissioner General. To me, true leadership is about lifting others up rather than themselves up. Leadership is not a position but instead a willingness to serve, support, and sacrifice for the people, and I believe that I am the sort of person who can bring servant leadership back to ASB. One of the main reasons I decided to run for commissioner general is that during my time in ASB, I discovered that the power lies in just 13 people. I truly believe ASB should be a voice for the entire school, and that’s what the class officers are all about. When we don’t give them voting power, we’re shutting out their voices, along with the voice of the entire student body. Despite being a freshman, I have the leadership experience needed for commissioner general. I have 7 years in student government (more than some of my teachers have taught!) and had the amazing opportunity to be California's secretary general. As a statewide leader, I was able to transform the way an entire youth organization operated and learned valuable skills along the way. The communication skills I learned are perfect for being your next commissioner general. As commissioner general, I promise to value every student's voice, opinion, and ideas because, in the end, this isn't one person's school; it's our school, and everyone deserves to help improve it step by step.
In freshman year, I had the opportunity to be a part of ASB, witnessing the potential ASB has to create change on campus. Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to step back and witness all the change that ASB should be making that isn’t happening, which is why I’m running for Commissioner of Internal Affairs. Through my involvement in school programs ranging from dance to marching band to Science Olympiad, I’ve noticed three main issues: funding, administrative support, and financial accessibility. Many programs at our school, especially the arts such as dance and music, are underfunded. As a result, students who want to participate in these programs have to pay hundreds of dollars to participate. Students struggle with administrative support, especially with the attendance system and open communication with admin about issues on campus. Last but not least, many school events are financially inaccessible, namely school dances and campaigning for ASB, both of which can cost over a hundred dollars. I want to bring these issues to school and district administration, along with the voices of the student body, through petitions, surveys and conversations. There is no voice I am unwilling to represent and fight for. My “CIA” stands for Communication, Involvement, and Advocacy, values I seek to uphold in uplifting the “SB” of “ASB.” The spotlight is on you, so vote Batia Lou for your next Commissioner of Internal Affairs.
I decided to run for Commissioner of Correspondence because I genuinely enjoy the organization and communication that keeps leadership running smoothly. I currently serve as President of The Archive, VP of Middle Eastern Club, Secretary of Paws Across Borders and Project Blush, and I am a member of our district’s Student Advisory Group. I am also a dance captain at school and volunteer at a hospital, which has all strengthened my leadership, responsibility, and professionalism. Through these roles, I have gained real experience taking minutes, managing information, meeting deadlines, and representing student voices.
Being involved in both competitive dance and school dance has also shaped how I lead. Competitive dance has taught me discipline, time management, and how to perform under pressure, while school dance has helped me connect with many different groups of students on campus. Because I am part of so many communities, I understand how important it is that communication reaches everyone.
What makes me unique is that I truly value the details. Whether it is writing minutes, updating rosters, recognizing birthdays, or creating a bulletin board students actually read, I want it done thoughtfully and well. As Commissioner of Correspondence, my goal is to keep ASB organized, professional, and connected so every student feels informed and included.
Hey Tigers! My name is Evan Chang, and I am stoked to run for your 2026-2027 Commissioner of Correspondence. My two-year journey as a class officer has been an incredible ride, and it has truly motivated me to step up, moving from representing a single grade to serving our entire school as one of the 13 ASB Commissioners.
During my time in ASB, I’ve worked closely with the Treasurers and the Commissioner of Finance within our business management class. That role came with a rigorous workload that demanded absolute precision. However, navigating those challenges was exactly what helped me sharpen the traits that this position needs: unwavering accountability, meticulous organization, and attention to detail. For me, these are the standards I’ve set for myself to ensure our school’s communications and minutes are handled with the respect they deserve. Beyond the office, my two years on Varsity Volleyball and active involvement in various clubs have built a foundation of discipline and leadership. I am ready to showcase all these traits if elected as your Commissioner of Correspondence.
My motivation to run for Commissioner of Correspondence came from a desire to close the gap between the student body and ASB, and ensuring that voices are heard and considered in decision making. I believe that proper communication towards the student body, ASB, and administration, creates a stronger school community and builds more connections between each other. As a current and past class secretary I’ve had the experience of the Commissioner of Correspondence’s tasks like activity proposals, check models, taking meeting minutes, and other secretary duties. Through being in ASB for 4 years, I often see that ASB often struggles with lack of communication whether it is in ASB, or between ASB and the school. My goal is to create more communication between ASB and others so that the student body is more aware of activities, events, and fundraisers. One way to ensure this will happen is a weekly “ASB Happenings” email to the students containing information about upcoming events, spirit days, assemblies (and the schedules), fundraisers, and any other announcements. By focusing on communication, I hope to act as a liaison between ASB and the school community.
Hi everyone! My name is Emi Nakamura and I’m running to be your next Commissioner of Finance. I am motivated by my passion for student government and my desire to make a positive impact on our school community by ensuring our finances are managed responsibly and accurately. Whether it’s counting thousands of Homecoming picnic tickets, filling out Bank Deposits every week, or handling money from any event you can think of, I’ve spent two years working diligently as the class of 2027 treasurer. My experience managing budgets for clubs and events, along with my organizational and communication skills, will allow me to work effectively with fellow treasurers and keep our financial operations running efficiently. As Commissioner of Finance, I know that being organized and punctual is essential, but I also believe it’s important to be approachable and supportive, serving as a positive role model for class treasurers. By balancing open communication along with bank activities, I’m confident I can create a positive, efficient environment in Business Management. Thank you for considering me as your next Commissioner of Finance!
Hey Tigers! My name is Claire Huang, and I’m running to be your next Commissioner of Academics. I am motivated to run because I believe the hard work students put into their education every day deserves stronger and more consistent recognition. Academics are the foundation of our future goals, yet effort in the classroom is not always celebrated as visibly as other achievements. I want to help create a school culture where academic growth, dedication, and excellence are valued by the entire campus. If elected, I plan to increase academic recognition in simple but meaningful ways throughout the year. This includes highlighting student achievements through regular announcements and school platforms, recognizing not only high GPAs but also improvement and perseverance. I would also like to collaborate with teachers and counselors to spotlight different academic departments so students excelling in all subject areas feel seen. Small, consistent recognition can make a big impact in encouraging motivation and pride in academic success. Throughout high school, I have promoted high academic standards in my own life by challenging myself in rigorous courses and holding myself accountable to strong study habits. I prioritize time management, preparation, and consistency, especially during busy seasons. By setting high expectations for myself and striving for continuous improvement, I hope to represent a commitment to academic excellence. As your Commissioner of Academics, my goal is to support, recognize, and celebrate the effort students put into their education every single day. I would truly appreciate your support.
Academics have always been a huge part of my life. I find enjoyment in taking harder classes and learning. This passion motivated me to run for Commissioner of Academics because I want to share my knowledge and help other students reach the academic success that I have. In life comparison has often pushed people to become better, but it has also led to stress and burden. I hope to create a positive learning environment where every student is welcome and progress is the primary goal.
Specific ways that I might increase academic recognition through the year is by using weighted GPAs to a cap of 4.0 and adding in athletics to help increase GPAs if needed. I will try to recognize improvement during TAG day and make sure that many awards are created for high achieving students during SPEX. I hope to create tutoring opportunities for struggling students and visit classrooms to bring small gifts in order to increase positivity throughout the year.
From the start of high school to now I have maintained a rigorous schedule, taking 7 APs as of Junior year and maintaining a 4.0. In order to promote high academic achievement in my life I've set my standards at an easy bar to clear. Work as hard as you can, reach out for help when needed, and understand that 1 bad score doesn't define who you are or diminish from your success.
My name is Lucinda Ernst, and I have proudly served as class president to the class of ‘27 for the past three years. High school is really hard, but that is precisely why I’m running for this position. Through ASB, Tiger, Sports Broadcasting, volunteering, and Youth and Government, I’ve learned that involvement makes hard situations more fun. Students deserve events to look forward to and activities to participate in, and that is why, if elected, I will work my hardest to put on events that you care about. As junior class president, I’ve served as head of the Homecoming and Prom committees, meaning I have experience planning massive events with many components (and so many emails)! With three years of ASB experience, I know how to organize and run activities like spirit days, dances, and fundraisers.
Winter Formal is also a responsibility of this position, though I believe it needs to be more representative of what the student body wishes. To reflect what you want in your dance, I would work with the General to incorporate discussions with the Student Forum to ensure that you are heard through your representatives. Additionally, I would establish the Tiger Advisory Program as a way for students to speak directly with me, in meetings or an online form, about ideas to create activities on campus. Your voice matters, and if elected Commissioner of Activities, I will dedicate myself entirely to putting on events that make our time together more enjoyable and reflective of you.
I'm running for Commissioner of Activities because I believe the 2026-2027 school year should be defined by the experiences we share outside the classroom. My motivation comes from a genuine desire to make SPHS a place where every student - regardless of their social circle - feels like school events are actually built for them. I've always been someone who loves the logistics of planning, and I want to use that drive to ensure our activities are organized, high-energy, and inclusive for the entire student body. To increase participation, I plan to lead by example by being the first one to show up and get hyped for every theme. However, I also believe that participation follows interest, so I plan to be an approachable student representative who uses student polls and open feedback to ensure our spirit days and lunchtime activities reflect what students actually want to do. Some of my specific ideas for spirit days include a Rhyme Without Reason day - where students in pairs or groups dress in rhyming costumes or outfits - and a Dynamic Duos day where students dress up as iconic pop-culture pairings. Ultimately, I believe that my role as Commissioner of Activities isn't just about planning events, but also about acting as a bridge between leadership and the student body to ensure SPHS is a place where everyone feels seen and celebrated. I am organized, ready to put in the work, and I'd love to help make this upcoming school year our best one yet.
My big inspiration for running for commissioner is the fact that I kind of know how the job works. I have seen previous commissioners do the job and have learned the ins and outs from them. I see the job as a responsibility that I am willing to take on. I am often the plan man when it comes to my friend group as I have a variety of fun ideas. Some of my spirit day ideas include subject day where each department is represented by a different color. Students would wear the color of their favorite subject. Aside from days where you wear certain colors I also have ideas for games during lunch. For example a game where we ask two friends separately a question and see if they give the same answer. My goals are to listen to student suggestions and bring their ideas to life. I am an open door who plans on participating in other activities, leading by example.
Why would I want to run for Commissioner of Assemblies? Well, I have this innate drive to want to entertain and please the masses, so what better way to use that ambition than pouring it into every assembly for SPHS? Curating an interesting and entertaining assembly takes time, effort, and skills like being confident on stage and… funny. With these attributes, it is my aspiration to make such foretold assemblies happen, and I just so happen to like meeting my own standards. You should feel informed and entertained, and that the time you spent there was worth every minute. I want to see students after an energetic assembly refreshed from the load of their school days and elated by what they could say assuredly was a good assembly.
Following that soapy explanation, you might be wondering, what exactly are you, aside from the performances and videos of others, going to do to entertain an audience? My plan for the future hinges on the idea that I will not be alone in this endeavor. I want to create a cabinet of humorous, poised, and witty students that are brave enough to go on stage and act out their own skit, scream their lungs out, speak confidently with their lines memorized or even improvise to bring you, the audience, the best assembly experience. Furthermore, I want to get rid of the normalized scripts on stage and really bring these assemblies alive with intent and, as Angel Batista would put it, la pasión.
Hi, I’m Ryan, and I’m running for Commissioner of Assemblies. I’m someone who brings loud, positive energy wherever I go. I love being involved in school events, and I think assemblies should be something students actually get excited for, not just something we sit through.
I want to be Commissioner because I care about school spirit and bringing people together. I’d work to make assemblies more interactive, more engaging, and more fun for everyone, not just the people on stage. I’m responsible, easy to work with, and always open to ideas. I want to help create assemblies that people remember for the right reasons.
My name is Aiden Park Lee and I am running to be the next Commissioner of Assemblies! I had thought little about these gatherings until I saw Noble, a former Commissioner, walk on stage with his suave and charismatic personality, not only giving enticing and entertaining assembly skits, but also changing my whole conception about assemblies. I looked at the stage and wondered how I could incorporate my own skits and bits while also matching the same level of energy Noble was able to summon, if not more. I believe I am more than qualified for this position, given my personality and experience with working in groups. I'm an outgoing person, doing my best to go beyond what is necessary for the sake of entertainment. Seeing my friends laugh at the acts that I pull off inspired me to keep going and hopefully by becoming commissioner, I can make others laugh and make assemblies more enjoyable. My energetic attitude has been shown to be pretty welcoming, allowing me to converse with others easily. When it comes to working in groups, I tend to take the lead and set a course of action that is bound to keep everyone within it engaged as much as possible. My experience as a musician in youth orchestras throughout the years showed me how much is required in setting up a near perfect performance. With my character and leadership skills and knowledge, I believe I am capable of running a captivating and entertaining assembly.
Hey Tigers, my name is Lorcan Swift and I’m running to be your next commissioner of athletics! As a junior at SPHS who plays both football and runs track, my motivation to run comes from a want to create the best environment possible for all the school's athletic programs to foster a winning culture. I want to ensure that every student athlete feels included by acknowledging the accomplishments of every athlete here. To promote school and class spirit, I will create fun, easy to participate themes for sports games that get everyone excited and spirited. As your Commissioner, I will also be a dedicated advocate for good sportsmanship by promoting it on the field and during assemblies, while making sure that not only players, but also fans practice good sportsmanship. I am committed to building an environment for every athlete to prosper in their sport. Thank you and Go Tigers!
Hi my name is Kelsey West. As a proud Varsity Basketball player and founder of the first Flag Football Program at South Pasadena High School I have experienced firsthand the power athletics has to bring students together, build character, and create lifelong memories. My journey as both a Quarterback and Running Back on the field, and as a Shooting Guard and point guard on the court, has shaped my leadership style and inspired me to run for Commissioner of Athletics. I am motivated by a desire to strengthen our athletic community, expand opportunities for students to compete, and ensure every athlete feels seen, safe, supported, and celebrated. Starting the Flag Football Program taught me the importance of initiative, collaboration, and inclusion. As Commissioner, I will ensure representation for all student-athletes by actively listening and creating consistent communication between athletes and student leadership. Every sport whether highly visible or emerging deserves equal recognition and resources. I will advocate for fairness, transparency, and student voice in athletic decisions. I will promote respect for opponents, officials, and teammates while encouraging pride in representing our school. Athletics should be competitive, but also uplifting and unifying. As Commissioner of Athletics, I will lead with integrity, enthusiasm, and a commitment to representing every athlete with pride.
My motivation to run for the position of Commissioner of Club is rooted from the meaningful relationships I built in the clubs I’ve joined!! I have come to enjoy every aspect of clubs within the activities you do as a club, such as club rush, or Hoco picnic. I grew as a person, because of these clubs, by learning new skills, taking more opportunities, being exposed to so many different ideas, and meeting new people I would have never met otherwise. I definitely believe that because of the positive experience I have had in these clubs, I deeply want to share that delight with others. Communication and social skills are a key requirement for this position, and I strongly believe I embody both. I am a person who believes in the importance of human connection, and love to talk to new people, and create friendships with others. A motto that I live by, is to choose kindness, and therefore I believe I am an approachable person, who will not belittle others, rather welcome them. Communication is another key skill in having a relationship, which is what mostly my position is. Being youth leader at my youth group and in leadership for SkillsUSA, have helped me come to learn how to effectively reach out to the masses, and individually. I strongly believe that I will be able to clearly relay important news or announcements to everyone, and bonus is that I have a really loud voice!
Hello, my name Is Talon Ebbert and I am running for Commissioner of Clubs. I was motivated to run due to being at this school for three years now and seeing what a great effect clubs have at bringing the student base together and I would love to be at the center of that. Now I know being in charge of over 100 is no easy feat. However, I am fully prepared to take on said challenge. I will keep track of all the clubs by doing a spreadsheet and make myself available to each and every person who is interested in starting and or continuing their clubs. I feel I am qualified for this job due to friendly disposition as well as knowing many of the faculty members. This would allow me to work with them to plan more and better club events. What I wish to achieve if elected would be to create a club system that allows for clubs to more easily collaborate with each other. I also wish to bring clubs to the forefront of the student body's mind so they can realize the joy being part of a club can bring. I want to ensure that even during the second semester that all clubs will have ample events to participate in so club activity doesn't fall by the wayside. All in all, if you want a Club Commissioner that will put clubs first and will plan countless events then vote Talon.
Hi Tigers, my name is Dylan Bartnes, I'm a junior at SPHS, and I'm running to be your next Commissioner of Noontime. The Commissioner of Noontime's role is to both organize lunch activities and set the mood through music – their the one that makes lunch the most anticipated half hour of the day. I come from a family of music and game lovers, so naturally, I love both forms of entertainment. Nirvana, Fleetwood Mac, and Rhianna are some of my favorite artists at the moment, however I am always listening to new music and I'm open to anything that comes my way. Of course, not everyone is going to be into the same music as me, so I am fully open to any and all recommendations – just come and let me know! My love for music makes me thrilled for this opportunity, and of course, vote Dylan for Noontime!
Since my freshman year I knew that Commissioner of Noontime was the position for me. Growing up, I was always surrounded by the arts. Through these experiences I have seen how creative expression, specifically music, is a universal language that brings us together. It is this connection that motivated me to run for Commissioner of Noontime. I want the different classes to be able to bond by the connections made through music. I know that not everyone will enjoy every single song played during lunch, but this position is about exposure to new music, not just for the students, but also for me. My music taste is very broad, enjoying artists from Alice in Chains to Molly Santana, and Apex Twins to Hailey Williams. Regardless, I'm not going to know every student's favorite artist or band. To ensure that everyone’s music preferences are catered to, once per week, I would dedicate to a student curated playlist. I would do this by posting a Google Forms link at the start of the week where students can submit songs they would like to hear during lunch. Of course, I would also be on the lookout for up and coming artists and local bands. Overall, I am a great candidate for this position, and if elected there would surely be HOPE for the music played during the 2026-27 school year.
Hi! I’m Pei-Chen Ng, and I’m running to be your 2026-27 Commissioner of Publicity! My motivation to run is to ensure everyone is well-informed about school events. SPHS offers many opportunities to students, but without publicity, students can feel disconnected and uninformed. I have personally felt confused after finding out about spirit days during the week, and students should not miss out because they were unaware. My goal is to prioritize equal access to information, so all students have the opportunity to be involved. To accomplish this, I will publicize school activities in advance, so students have time to prepare. Spirit Days, in particular, often lack enough notice, and promoting them across all media outlets can increase participation and school spirit. Since not all students use social media, I will utilize flyers and posters to ensure equal access to information. By diversifying communication methods, I can reach a wider audience to increase student engagement. As the former Director of Marketing and current Chief Marketing Officer of our JV Virtual Enterprise class, I have hands-on experience designing promotional materials and developing a strong, consistent branding. With my background in marketing and promotion, I am confident in my ability to effectively promote school events and build a more connected school community. As Commissioner of Publicity, I will ensure prioritize student awareness, so that together, we create moments that impact not just events, but each other’s high school experience.
I have decided to run for the position of Commissioner of Publicity because I want to transform how students hear about events and opportunities at our school. Through creative designs shared on social media and displayed around campus, clear and accessible messaging, and strong organization that meets every deadline, I will help ASB reach every student and build school spirit.
Since the beginning of my time at this school, I have been heavily involved in the Virtual Enterprise program, taking every level from the introductory class to the varsity level. Through this program, I have developed essential skills for this role, including graphic design, social media marketing, strategic leadership, and project management while leading a team. My hands-on experience in Virtual Enterprise has prepared me to communicate clearly, work efficiently, and stay organized, which makes me a strong candidate for this position. Outside of this class, I am committed to contributing my creativity, leadership, and dedication to ASB and this role.
Having so many friends in ASB and getting a chance to understand and learn about their experiences as high contributors to the school is what inspired me to run. I’ve always wanted to make an impact in both our school and community, but never really knew how. Getting to talk to my ASB friends truly helps me develop a deeper understanding of the responsibilities I hold as a commissioner, but also all the fun things we get to do to make school-based activities fun, engaging, and allow us to be better contributors to our overall community. The Commissioner of Schools and Communities’ job is to plan and organize activities such as the seasonal blood drives, canned food drive, voter registration initiative, and the homecoming half-time show; all of which are fun and amazing opportunities, but need far more participation. Working as an executive member with a non-profit that strives to aid homelessness in LA for two years now, I have had the privilege of working with the CEO to develop the discipline and mindset needed to bring ambitious plans to fruition. As your commissioner of school and community, I will bring the same attributes to ASB to make our school and community not only a better place, but to foster connection while doing so. I’m so excited to begin this journey with you all, and I am looking forward to connecting with you all in the process! Thank you!
Hey Tigers! My name is Jayden Lee and I'm running to be your Commissioner of SAC! I'm motivated to run for Commissioner of School and Community because I believe school spirit and community impact should extend beyond campus and actively improve the lives of both SPHS students and the South Pasadena community. SPHS has strong traditions, but there are opportunities to make participation more inclusive and meaningful so that every student feels connected to something larger than themselves.
One challenge I see on campus is that many students want to get involved in service or wellness initiatives but are unsure where to start or feel disconnected from existing opportunities. As Commissioner, I would work to expand awareness and accessibility of events such as blood drives, donation campaigns, and staff recognition programs by improving outreach, collaborating with clubs, and creating more student-driven participation opportunities. I also want to strengthen collaboration with Health & Wellness Officers to promote initiatives that support student mental and physical well-being throughout the year, not just during major events.
South Pasadena has a uniquely engaged community, and I plan to build stronger partnerships with local organizations, parent groups, and city programs to maximize the impact of school drives and service events. By connecting student initiatives with community needs, we can increase turnout, expand resources, and ensure our efforts create lasting change both on campus and beyond.
Two years ago, when I joined SPHS Pep with zero dance or cheer experience, I never imagined I would one day want to lead within the school to represent the entire team. I originally joined for PE credit, but I quickly became immersed in a community built on pride, energy, and commitment. That experience completely changed my high school career and motivated me to run for Commissioner of Spirit. I want to give back to the program and school environment that helped me grow into the rising senior I am today. Since then, I have shown up to nearly every football and basketball game during my seasons on JV Song and Varsity Song, cheering on the sidelines and in the stands with full dedication. I have stayed late after games, pushed through long weeks, and continued to show up even when I was exhausted. That consistency matters to me because spirit is not about one big moment, it is about choosing to represent South Pas.Through Pep, I have earned the Coaches Award, Tiger Award, Most Improved, and “Fabulous Facials” at our annual summer camp. As Commissioner of Spirit, I would focus on organizing themes, increasing participation at games, and making sure students feel included and excited to represent SPHS.and making sure more students feel included and excited to show up.
