During Andre’s time at Ascension, he has been involved in the Entrepreneurship Club, Leadership Club, Student Government, Chess Club, Sunshine Club, Mu Alpha Theta, and Beta Club. He has also been part of the football, track, baseball, and tennis teams, as well as a Learning Lab Tutor and a member of Young Life. In his free time, he enjoys reading, playing games, learning the accordion, coding, and hanging out with his friends. He says his favorite thing about Ascension is his ability to do multiple sports and have understanding teachers that he can talk to. When asked to describe himself in three words, he said calm, thoughtful, and passionate. A fun fact about him is that he used to build kaleidoscopes! Andre’s advice to younger students is, “Read as much as possible because it will help inside and outside of school.”
