Hello! I’m a senior at PVHS this year. Some of my favorite things to do are help lead Spartan Assembly and our NHS chapter, sing in the Leading Tones Jazz choir, and spending time at Camp Shalom during the summer. I also am co editor-in-chief of the print Spartan Shield. Next year I will be studying Political Science and Spanish at Arizona State University.
