2020-2021 ASB E-Board Members
December 9, 2019
The week leading up to Nov. 7 was one filled with bubbles, glowsticks and bracelets. While not the typical snapshot of a regular week of school, these different items were indicative of something even bigger: ASB’s Executive Board election week.
After days of serious campaigning by different students for a coveted spot on the eBoard, five students came away with a win. The new 2020 eboard officers are President Nicole Augusta,, Vice President Matthew Krogh, Secretary Maddie Crume, Treasurer Kayla Choate and Ambassador Cami Armendariz. The E-board answered questions about themselves, their goals and their campaigns.
Nicole Augusta – President
Q: What was the campaign process like?
A: “It was sort of difficult to come up with things to do because there were so many restrictions, like we couldn’t hang up flyers, stickers or food, so it took away a lot of the ideas. It came down to being creative and who got their name out there the most.”
Q: What are your goals for the year?
A: “This school year, I want to keep West Ranch a place full of spirit and where students feel they belong, and where they’re proud to call West Ranch their school and they feel at home.”
Q: Anything you want the student body to know?
A: “I feel that leading by example is the most important because if you are doing the right thing and getting involved then other people will get involved.”
Q: What are you most excited for as president?
A: “I’m excited to see ASB get closer with each other but also more involved in the school.”
Q: How did it feel to win?
A: “It was really exciting. I was in the middle of practice and my friends saw the list posted and they ran down to the tennis courts, and they told me, and then I screamed.”
Matthew Krogh – Vice President
Q: What do you want to accomplish as Vice President?
A: “I really just want to make everybody at this school feel at home and feel included and build a sense of school spirit. I want to build up more hype for wanting to come here and wanting to come to the games and events.”
Q: Something the student body might not know about you?
A: “I’m a terrible dancer. Like terrible.”
Q: What are you most excited for as vice president?
A: “To build a little bit more school pride amongst everyone at the school, and for ASB and the school to become closer and more of a cohesive group.”
Q: What are your goals for the year?
A: “To get more attendance at games and general events. Not just football games or basketball games, but the band concerts and things like that. I would really like to have more attendance at those.”
Maddie Crume – Secretary
Q: Something the student body might not know about you?
A: “I have a dog named Hazel and she’s really scary. She doesn’t really like me.”
Q: What are your goals for the year?
A: “I want to start inside ASB and make us more of a family with the same goals, and bring that outside to the rest of the campus. And to make sure everyone enjoys their time at West Ranch, feels included and has a good four years of high school.”
Q: Anything you want the student body to know?
A: “I’m excited to have a bigger role and make a true difference on campus. I could do that with community service, but now I can spread West Ranch pride and cheer.”
Kayla Choate – Treasurer
Q: Something the student body might not know about you?
A: “I dislocated my knee by trying to have a dance battle.”
Q: What are your goals for the year?
A: “Just trying to help ASB be stronger and do the ripple effect out to everyone at West Ranch and bring the spirit up. I also want to see more attendance at events.”
Q: What are you most excited for as treasurer?
A: “I help a lot in the ASB office already, but I’m excited to have more duties.”
Q: How did it feel to win?
A: “I was really excited! I’ve been in many elections in my years and I’m really excited because I feel like I put the work and effort toward my campaign. I did the best I could to campaign to the students.”
Q: What was the inspiration or theme for your campaign?
A: “I went down with my family to an LA pop-up and it was pastel colors so I went with kind of a pastel theme. I really love designing things on the computer. Everything I used, I made myself. I wanted to campaign with my own touch.”
Cami Armendariz – Ambassador
Q: Something the student body might not know about you?
A: “My favorite food is lobster.”
Q: What are your goals for the year?
A: “To represent the school in the best way possible. When I go to meetings I want to be sharing all the ideas the student body has as a whole.”
Q: What are you most excited for as ambassador?
A: “I’m excited to be the representative for West Ranch and being able to share everyone’s ideas.”
Q: How did it feel to win?
A: “It was really cool to be elected by the student body.”
Q: What was the inspiration/theme for your campaign?
A: “It was ‘I’ll represent you,’ so I used Mike Wazowski’s eye as the ‘I’. And then Mike Wazowski is green so I made all my flyers green”
