STuco pep rally Stuco organized a Pep Rally to cheer our basketball teams before the AASCA tournament. The event started off with a brilliant video produced by Fernando López (2021) of our teams. STUCO dedicated this video to student athlete Cris Larios who suffered a knee injury one week prior to the tournament.

AST Teachers lost the friendly ‘‘student-teacher’’ game and got a pie in the face. Thank you teachers for being such great sports!
