Aiden has accomplished a lot since his time at Westview Hills including receiving the Technology Student of the Quarter award, Athlete of the Month in wrestling, being a Second Degree Black Belt in Taekwondo, receiving Academic All Conference on the football team all four years of high school, and becoming a certified lifeguard.
He shares that he still has many close friendships that he made back in his middle school days and that he enjoyed getting to do chess club with Mr. Enburg, wrestling team under Coach Vincenzo, and of course all of the hands-on learning of robotics and 3D printing. Congratulations Aiden!
Students at Holmes raised $400 for a local animal shelter through the One Book, One School program. To celebrate, they got to choose one staff member to get a pie in the face and they chose Principal Kassir. They were so excited!
