Matthew J. Williams 12th Grade Class of 2020 First year member I am a senior at Brooks and I am thankful for being allowed to have a voice. PSAC has allowed me to be a voice for the senior class. While being able to participate in PSAC, I have been provided the opportunity to participate in other clubs such as Yearbook, prom committee, and counselor ambassadors. These 4 years have given me the opportunity to grow into a well rounded individual that will lead me to success in the future.

Kayla Baldwin 12th Grade Class of 2020 President I am currently a Senior, Class of 2020 and serve as PSAC President. Outside of PSAC, I am the Co-Captain of the Varsity Basketball team, National Honor Society member, School Social Media Manager and have also been apart of the Swim team. My schoolmates know me to be very involved on the social scene at school. Notably being crowned Princess at least years’ Homecoming. I have been apart of PSAC since my freshman year and

seen the council develop a lot. My favorite event I’ve been a part of coordinating was last year where council members talked to local elementary students about how they can start planning for their future now, because you are never too young! I love serving on the committee because I love finding new ways to keep Brooks students engaged, because everyone knows school can sometimes be a little draining. I’m proud to serve as President and the new changes that have taken place throughout this school year thus far because of PSAC!

Javonna Fowler 12th Grade Class of 2020 First year member In one word, I am a visionary. As an aspiring doctor, education is of the utmost importance. In just four years of being an eagle I have established an immense collection of accolades for my academic credentials. Currently, I am the Vice President of the Class of 2020 and founder of the 2020 Class Congress. Due to my dedication to community service, I even served as the 2017-2018 Civics Class President. All the while, I’ve remained exceedingly active in extra curriculars; I am a

member of the National Honors Society, God’s Ambassadors at School, Student Celebrations Committee, PSAC, Student Ambassadors, and Prom Committee. With a strong desire to succeed, I put my all into everything that I do. That’s just the trend here at Brooks!

Ariel Shorter 10th Grade Class of 2020 First year member I am someone who identifies as a well-respectful, responsible, and loving person. I’ve dedicated my life to helping out my community and making others around me happy. Being apart of PSAC and the greater Brooks community was one of the best things I could have possibly done. Being in PSAC allows me to collectively represent my fellow peers and be a voice for those who may be overlooked. In addition, I am a part of the first cohort of Schuler Scholars at Brooks with the mission of

sending underrepresented, and first-generation students to highly-selective universities and colleges.

Skylah Saffold 11th Grade Class of 2021 Third year member With my determined mindset, I can unite people around a vision and motivate a team to excellence with a pragmatic approach to ideas and situations.

Antoine Westbrook 11th Grade Class of 2021 Third Year Member When others look at me I would hope I’m seen as an active, encouraging, and motivational student who inspires others to be the best version of themselves.

Club (God’s Ambassadors at School), an active member of our Principal Student Advisory Council and Student Ambassadors, a State Ranked Mid-Distance Runner/School Record Holder in Track & Field, an A+ Student in my school, and a part time worker. In spite of all my extracurriculars and leadership roles within my

class, my main goal is to serve and aid others in my school to ensure that we all reach our best potential. I consider myself to be a person who always wants others’ voices to be heard who may not have the platform to express themselves which has enabled me to take part in so many in and out of school activities to do so. This is why being a member of PSAC and serving alongside my classmates and principal is such a great opportunity for me to be a voice for so many others!

passionate about is the ultimate goal.
