Pathfinder Award: Arianna Rouse
Ari was Art Club president and a member of the SHHS Diversity Club.

According to Ari’s history teacher, “My favorite thing about Arianna is how persistent she is to better herself to be the best version of herself each and every day that she comes into our school. Arianna really is the type of person that can positively change the culture of any organization that she is a part of.”
