“Some of my goals for the next two years would be to maximize my high school career by staying in ASB and continuing to get involved in extracurriculars,” Nolte said.
Nolte’s involvement has taught her many life lessons about hard work and determination. She hopes to inspire CHS students to get involved in any way they can and make a difference in your community.
“Being a part of ASB and having the student body position as class president has definitely taught me a lot about leadership,” Nolte said. “I have learned about the importance of school spirit and why getting involved is so important during the four years you have here.”
