Ari

Ari Rabinovich

Secretary

Hi friends! My name is Ari, and I am a senior this year, majoring in English Secondary Education. I am a second-generation Roadrunner, and I grew up running around campus while my mom worked and finished her degree. That being said, should you need help with anything campus related, I'm your gal! Outside of school, I love to read, spend time with my two cats, travel, listen to all kinds of music, and visit obscure museums (my fav was the Cryptozoology museum in Maine). I'm so excited to be a part of SHC this year and serve as your secretary! See you at the Honors House! :)

Kiki

Kiki Amaro

Treasurer

My name is Anica Amaro but I go by Kiki and I am the Student Honors Treasurer on SHC. My favorite place on campus is either the little hangout area in the art building or the Honors House. I am currently in the process of switching my major from Fine Arts to World Language. Outside of school, I like to draw and make comics, read, study new languages, cook and bake, go rollerskating, or play video games with friends.
