“My favorite thing about Ascension is the teachers.” He describes himself as quiet, funny, and empathetic. He says, “One fun fact about myself is that I work at Sonic.”

Hi my name is Allison and I am a senior and I’ve been at Ascension since my freshman year! I like journalism because I am able to help design the yearbook and write articles about the things I care about. I have been playing volleyball here at Ascension for all the years I’ve been here and am planning on joining the basketball team this year. Outside of school I like to hangout with my friends and spend time with my family.
