Goodbye 2012-2013!


Hi guys. :] Since it's the last day of school, I just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS for surviving another (or possibly your first) year of high school. <3 For me, it has been my last. 

Because I was lucky enough to serve on the TPHS ARC board for the past two school years as president, a position I am sad to leave behind (but proud to pass on now), I did not want to let the day go by without saying that just by being a member of this club you became a huge and happy part of my life. I sincerely hope that you will all continue your love of and dedication to community service wherever you are going next, whether it is college (like me) or the next year in your high school career. And more importantly, that you won't be too shy to grab hold of opportunities to make yourselves more integral parts of your communities and making even more of a mark in the world as individuals.

I don't want this to be too long -- for fear of you guys just skimming past my words -- so I will end now with this: GOOD LUCK to next year's TPHS ARC board (and all the hopefully very dedicated individuals that will become board members in the years afterward), and HAVE A GREAT SUMMER and many years and summers to come. Hope to come across you guys in the future. <3 

Stay in touch!

Katharine Yang, President
TPHS American Red Cross Club

TL;DR -- I LOVE YOU GUYS.

Hey everyone,

First of all I would like to say that I appreciate you all for being such great members during my term as president of the Torrey Pines High School American Red Cross Club. For those of you whose high school careers are not ending just yet (as mine is very soon), I sincerely hope that you are as in love with the club and the cause as I have been, am, and always will be. Please continue your participation in TPHS ARC and its events, and support your new board members with dedication and sincerity.

Without further ado, here are your new TPHS ARC officers for the upcoming school year! Feel free to send them words of congratulations on their new roles in our high school club and in our entire community as a whole.

Once again, thank you for being such wonderful members.

But for now, please warmly welcome the 2013-2014 TPHS ARC leadership board!
