Throughout the year, Washington High holds various events celebrating school spirit and unity—Spirit Week, Winter Week, Battle of the Classes, and more. This month in particular focuses on unity through the recognition and empowerment of our diverse groups at Washington, as highlighted in This is Us week and the Multicultural Assembly.
Among all the clubs at Washington High School, ALAS, the Association of Latin American Students is a cultural club that provides the opportunity for many to be exposed to Latin culture and be able to experience something new and different. Throughout my interviews with members of the club, I had the privilege of going more in depth with the leaders of ALAS and gaining insight on what the point of the club specifically is, their plans for WHS, and what they are striving to achieve.
