Seniors make the most of their last year

Before the senior class heads off to wherever their future takes them, they spent their last year of high school bonding with their friends. The senior class board planned multiple senior events throughout the year to ensure an exciting last nine months on campus. These events include but are not limited to, the senior sunrise, senior snack days and social media days for seniors and dress up days. The board also has planned out the senior picnic and grad night in June.

Sunrise – Senior class board, Lucas Perez, Mina Nguyen, Niah Goudar and Desmond Perez, (left to right) smile during senior sunrise. President Perez, has been working to make the last weeks up to graduation as involved as they can be for the seniors. The board set up a calendar called “23 days ‘till graduation”, being that they are the class of 2023, and each day has an activity for the seniors to participate in. “We typically have them spaced out in a once per week fashion, and we also really push the motive that seniors look at the calendar on our instagram themselves to see specific dates they want to participate in,” Perez said. Perez has enjoyed working with the board as a team. “It’s really the senior class board out here putting in the work by ourselves,” Perez said. Lucas Perez/With Permission

Prizes! – On the board handing out Hersheys kisses, Niah Goudar, vice president, has been helping to organize for all the upcoming events. “We’ve been arranging stuff such as getting everyone their sweatshirts and planning, ticket buying for things such as grad night that’s coming up, the senior picnic as well as graduation tickets,” Goudar said. The board has a close bond that allows them to efficiently work together since they’ve all spent more than four years in school together. “I think it’s really special working together with them. Especially since I’ve known them all since, like seventh grade. It’s just amazing to be here right now with them as well,” Goudar said. Lucas Perez/With Permission

Prom! – Eshan Badwal, Tobey Chow and Adi Chattopadhyay, (left to right) smile on their prom bus. All of the board’s hard work pays off because the senior activities are one of a kind. Chattopadhyay thinks that these activities take advantage of the limited time the seniors have with each other. The activities also defy friend groups and cliques, “People in different groups kind of come together through these activities and everyone just starts hanging out with each other, which is really nice because people become less cliquey,” Chattopadhyay said.

International Baccalaureate – Eshan Badwal, senior, has been a part of the IB Program for the past two years and feels it has really defined his senior year. “Being with a group of people who are passionate to learn and complete high school with new academic achievements was very exciting,” Badwal said. He is also excited for the upcoming grad night. “It’s a unique opportunity that I’m sure will be fun because it allows me to spend a whole night at Six Flags with my friends.”
