CONGRATS SKIERS! Tessa Guthrie, Editor-in-Chief The bleachers rattled as the class of 2021 gripped onto each other while cheering, “red, red, red, red, black, black, black, black, black!” The then sophomores overwhelmed the other grades with their intense enthusiasm for school spirit, which led them to beat the class of 2019 in the class cheer competition at the 2019 Homecoming pep rally. The class of 2021 reveled this victory, and it would foreshadow many other successes for our grade.
This year’s senior class demonstrated their ambition and passion all throughout high school. Many seniors were extremely academically successful, with the class of 2021 having the largest number of IB diploma students in AHS history. The seniors also strived for excellence in athletics, with many state championship wins and broken records throughout the years. Additionally, this senior class was a group of creatives and innovators, with many students transcending in the arts.
While the class of 2021 had a record of excellence, it did not come easily. The hardships from COVID-19 took a toll on the students, however, because of their strength and perseverance, the seniors were able to recover and flourish. The seniors made the most out of their small amount of school days and got creative with events that would create memories for the students. The seniors will fondly remember cheering out the windows of their cars during the car parade, coming together to watch the sunrise on the turf
before the first day of school, and laughing at old pictures while gluing them to the boat. This year’s seniors are going to do incredible things. The students have transformed into resilient individuals who will strive for excellence. Their successes will not stop in high school and neither will their friendships. These seniors will go off into the world with cherished memories of their time at Aspen High School and will truly change the world. Go Skiers!
