She has been on the honor roll each semester and has been encouraged to pursue leadership roles. This year, she is treasurer of the school’s associated student body.

Alex is involved in may activities including: Honor Society, track, soccer and ASB. She is most proud of being captain of the soccer team. She works hard to be a leader on and off the field. She serves a role model to others.

Upon graduating in the spring of 2018, Alex plans to attend Western Washington University to pursue a teaching degree. Her focus is on mathematics. Right now, she enjoys teaching math and is a peer tutor for Algebra 2.

Alex says the most influential person in her life is her freshman year soccer coach. “Whether he knows it or not, he pushed me to become a great player, and a hard-working person. Obviously my parents, and friends have impacted my life through their support, but this coach was different. He saw the potential in me, and pushed me to find it,” said Alex. “I know that I may never be the best player, but that I can easily have the best attitude and work ethic, and those traits will be with me throughout my entire life.
