Yesterday, Dr. Bub met with dedicated Student Council members at Renaissance High School.
Together they strategized council structure, sponsorships acquisition, rehashed the success of homecoming, expressed their excitement for upcoming Prom, and encouraged the students graduating with their Associates Degrees to additionally participate in the conferring College’s commencement ceremony. How cool is it that so many WASD students get to have a college graduation a few days prior to their HS graduation!

After being stuck in Eagle Rd traffic, Dr. Bub arrived about 10 minutes late for his appointment with CHS Student Council. StuCo leaders greeted him at the main entrance and, in true grand fashion, presented him with a “Tardy Late Pass”! 😄
To make up for his tardy, Mr. Wilhite has graciously agreed to let Dr. Bub teach Saturday School in the near future!
CHS StuCo is always incredibly prepared, thoughtful, and engaged during Dr. Bub’s visits—presenting on fundraising, student recognition, pep rallies, leadership, and their strong feelings about reducing screen time in the classroom. Their input is fueled by meaningful student voice, and it shows.
So proud of this amazing group! 🙌
