What teachers say about him: Alec is such a great kid. He is responsible, kind, funny and hard-working. He participates in class, asks great questions, completes his work on time, advocates for himself and is kind to everyone. He is involved in many activities (student council, band, basketball, etc.) and still keeps his grades up. He is always the first one to volunteer to help out, whether it is for a teacher or another student. He is truly a leader and role model for our team!
