In the main office, our everyday staff members work hard to contribute to our school. However, there is one particular student who makes a big difference in the office, Stephon Peppers. He is a senior who’s always been great academically and socially. He helps out whenever he can. He both helps and assists staff in the main office with things they need. For example, he transfers materials from one place to another, drops off supplies to classrooms that need them, picks up attendance from each classroom, and transports heavy boxes around the school. This makes it easier for the staff members having an extra hand to help around the school.
