BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI West Valley View Executive Editor S chool Connect is hosting its “A Community Thrives” campaign to connect 70 high-need Arizona schools, including the Avondale Elementary School District, to their surrounding communities. The Arizona-based nonprofit’s mission is to tangibly connect all 2,485 Arizona K-12 school campuses with community resources and partnerships so that every student has a well-informed village ready to help them reach their potential. “We help schools build a village of support around them, because it takes a village to help every child reach their potential,” said Tracey Beal, CEO of School Connect. “There are 2,485 schools in Arizona’s public and charter districts, and we would love to see every school have strategic partnerships that help them become the very best school they can be.”
Veterans are personal to singer LeeHisPerreira.father was in the Air Force, and his grandfathers were in the Air Force and Marines. Following his mantra of “Inspiration inspires inspiration,” Perreira ran 16 marathons in 16 days in mid-June to raise $5,000 for an egress door and a handicap ramp at the Buckeye VFW. “That was my attempt at running 100 miles in 24 hours to raise money for veterans through my nonprofit, 16 x 16,” Perreira said. “The goal was $5,000, and we raised over $15,000. I have so much respect for veterans.” He will present the check in early September. Previously, he collected funds for Chrysalis, AHCF and Arizona Cancer Foundation for Children.“I recently donated my time at Chrysalis, which works with domestic violence survivors,” he said. “I went during a time when people were eating and played songs. Once I started playing, this little girl got closer and closer — then she got really close. Music brings out the best in people.”

Several years ago, Perreira decided to consistently release music, longing not to have gaps in release dates.
Perreira...continued from page 1
If You Go...
WHAT: Lee Perreira WHEN: 7:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 19 WHERE: Musical Instrument Museum, 4725 E. Mayo Boulevard, Phoenix COST: Tickets start at $30 INFO: mim.org, leeperreira.com
The plan works for Perreira and allows him to feel like he has forward momentum with music. A rebirth Music is part of Perreira’s rebirth. He never felt like he was a bad guy, but “I definitely could have done better.”
His downward spiral began when his brother, who was struggling with heroin, died unexpectedly. “If you would have asked me if I was OK, I probably would have told you, ‘I’m fine,’” he said. “Then I got three DUIs in less than six months. My brother died right in the middle of that. He was living on the streets. He had stolen from our family. It was a hard thing to go through, to have your brother reaching out to you. I told him I would pay a bill, but I wasn’t going to give him money. That wears on you. “Then, for him to die, it just really rocked our family. Then, here I am (screwing) up my own life, getting three DUIs. That was weighing on my family, too. Obviously, it needed to happen because I fought this case for three years. I lost and had to go to Florence West for four months.” In prison he ran his first marathon. After all, he wasn’t trying to make friends there. “I was this crazy white gringo running laps all day, but I needed to focus on something,” he said. “I said, ‘Let me break this down. What would a marathon be? Oh, 26.2 miles. That would be 102Onlaps.’”Father’s Day 2018, he ran 26.2 miles in prison. When he got out, he figured he would promote his record by running and performing at the Rock ’n’ Roll Marathon. Forty-five minutes after he finished, he was onstage performing with his band. “I was devastated afterward,” he said now with a laugh. “My feet were throbbing, and the band was like, ‘Are we doing this again?’ I said, ‘Hell no.’” That, in turn, has lifted up every other aspect of his life. “My business has gone up,” he said. “My songwriting has gone up. My original music reach has gone up. My relationship with my fiancée has improved. I really want to surround myself with positive people and people who are moving in a certain direction.”
“I don’t make enough money to be able to invest the time and money into putting out a full-length album every year, which is what I would want to do,” he said. “I have tons of tunes. I release something three to 10 times a year, whether it’s a single or an album or whatever. I have two singles ready to drop. I just don’t know when I’m going to do it. I may do fall and winter. I have enough music to get me through this year and all of next year.”
To celebrate finishing his run, he’s headed to Costa Rica with his fiancée and then returns to the Valley to play the Musical Instrument Museum on Friday, Aug. 19. He’s pushing “Live @ MIM Pt. 2,” recorded last July. “We actually filmed the night, too,” he said. “We’ll be back with a full 10-piece band. The horn section adds so much energy. The last time I saved the horn section for the encore. Nobody even knew the horns were there. I’ll be using them, not for just the encore.”
Running 100 miles in one day was the goal; he stopped at 81. He longed to finish, so three days later he did just that. “I’ve been pretty beat up since then,” he said with a laugh. “But seriously, I find it so fulfilling. It gives me extra motivation to work out and be physical. Whenever I do any of these things, personally, I grow a lot. I learned a lot about myself and pushing through tough times.”

In addition to the public survey, two in-person open houses and two virtual open houses are scheduled to provide additional opportunities for input. Learn more and follow the project on the city’s website, buckeyeaz.gov/ downtownplan, and social media accounts.The DSAP will combine existing planning documents into one long-term visionary and comprehensive plan that positions Downtown Buckeye for the future and attracts interest from developers. The DSAP will guide the future direction of Downtown Buckeye to ensure that it can continue to grow sustainably and develop to suit the needs of the current and future residents and visitors.Formore information and to sign up for project update emails, visit buckeyeaz.gov/downtownplan.
Buckeye recently launched the first phase of the planning process to create a new, comprehensive Buckeye Downtown Specific Area Plan (DSAP).
“When people deliver materials, resources and supplies, whether it be a backpack, back-to-school supplies, or jackets in the wintertime, those are absolutely wonderful and critical and essential for our kids to be able to navigate their world around them,” Hargrove said. “It really allows our children in our community to understand they’re loved on by many and they are a part of something bigger, and it develops a sense of belonging. The resource is one thing, and also the lasting impact of people who care about us, love on us and want us to be successful, and are part of our future leaning in and moving forward, that’s the power of it.”
The first step is to gather public input with a survey to get a better understanding of what residents and stakeholders desire for the future of Downtown Buckeye. The survey asks the public to share their thoughts on the current state of Downtown as well as opportunities for its future. The survey will be open until Sept. 25. “Downtowns are powerful symbols; thriving downtowns create inviting experiences for all types of people and ages,” Buckeye Mayor Eric Orsborn said. “We want to invest in our downtown to ensure it thrives in the future and stands out in the Valley.”
AESD has been in a partnership with School Connect for six years, having initially collaborated for “Love Our Schools Day,” another campaign focused on outside organizations celebrating their local schools through various efforts, such as through artwork, donations or enhancing school facilities.Through the school CAFEs, a roundtable collaboration is formed to discuss and plan the projects that will most benefit the district’s needs and maximize opportunities throughout the school year. “The projects that come out of those CAFEs directly impact the metrics that we’re trying to move. For example, teacher retention has a direct impact on academic achievement and parent engagement, helping our parents engage directly with our kids and what they’re learning,” Beal said. Participating school or district teacher retention rates will improve by a minimum of 20% over the prior year, as measured by district-teacher retention data, and report a decrease in student behavior referrals by a minimum of 10% over the prior year, as measured by school and/or district discipline data. By inviting members of the community to sit at roundtables and collaborate, new ideas and partnerships emerge to be able to offer all the success of every child in the schools.
The seven districts chosen to participate in the campaign are all high-poverty, Title I schools. Using the School Connect CAFE model, schools can fund school projects that make a direct impact on the lives of children. Some previous projects School Connect helped to facilitate include raising funds for numerous districts to buy new laptops for schools to provide for student use, collaborating with community partners to build gardens in schools, and connecting mentors such as police officers and firefighters with students at some of the participatingEachschools.CAFEwill host at least 65 strategic partners representing community organizations, businesses and faithbasedSomepartners.organizations that have contributed in the past include Home Depot, Palm Valley church, Skyway church, Grand Canyon University, Estrella Mountain Community College,
“There’s no doubt in my mind we do amazing things educationally with our children, teaching and learning and making sure that they have that limitless future being augmented or being supported by organizations outside of AESD, which further enhances our reach and our ability to maximize resources — and that has just paid dividends in every way within our community,” Hargrove said.
The CAFEs also provide the opportunity for networking to create a multiplier effect that reaches around an entire community to find the specific resources a school may need.

That’s kind of that self-fulfilling prophecy everyone benefits from,” said Betsy Hargrove, Avondale Elementary School District (AESD) superintendent. “That vision really played out very closely in Avondale. Students come back with this refreshed view and an environment that says there are people who want to love on our kids in our community and know that they’re a part of something bigger.”

AESD prepares teachers with GEARS leadership event
Working through GEARS is bringing groups of educators together to change the conversation definitively, and the outcomes are very real,” Superintendent Dr. Betsy Hargrove said. In the spring of 2015, school leaders from the Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia presented Gov. Doug Ducey with a proposal outlining a school transformation pilot program called Project Momentum. The aim of this effort was to provide a comprehensive school-improvement model designed to assist students, teachers and staff members in meeting the goal of increasing student achievement. The model focused on improvements to instructional quality that have proven to advance student learning at a rate needed to offset challenging factors such as the strong correlation between free and reduced lunch percentage and student outcomes on standardizedBeginningtests.in the 2015-16 school year, Ducey entered into a public-private partnership with the Challenge Foundation and Avondale Elementary School District (AESD) to implement ProjectAESDMomentum.wasselected because the school district showed evidence of being on the right track for initial implementation with a preexisting school improvement planning model that complemented the tenets of Project Momentum. In addition, Avondale showed an engaged student population, caring community and a district/school leadership committed to the concept of continuous improvement. Ducey invested $575,000, which supported teacher leadership grants for select members at each school, principal and assistant principal stipends, substitute coverage to allow for teachers to commit to training, and early start training stipends. Hargrove, along with her school leaders and instructional staff, engaged with the Project Momentum implementation team to collaboratively develop a strategic plan for improvement.
The Avondale teachers and staff members formed a guiding coalition to help plan and drive improvement efforts at their individual schools.
In an effort to ensure success throughout the upcoming school year, Avondale Elementary School District brought teachers together for its seventh year of the Growing Educators, Achieving Results with Students (GEARS) event July 26. Over the seven-year course of GEARS, AESD has seen student achievement rise and other tangible benefits emerge. “Every child in Avondale deserves to grow as a thinker, problem solver, and communicate the pursuit of reach without limits. It’s our collective responsibility to make sure that happens.

Lori Goslar, principal at Michael Anderson School, has taken part in GEARS every year since it was introduced to the district, noting that the collaboration that has come from it is a representation of the district and its ability to achieve results.“Growing educators helps us to grow our students so that they can do as our vision and mission states: be problem solvers and thinkers and have strength,” Goslar said. “As a leadership team, it has engaged us in the latest in learning. We are all learners and have grown through that learning. It in turn helped us to engage our teachers, and they’re a part of a shared leadership team that helps to lift our students and share the overall growth.

Following her retirement, she continued to serve her community on the Litchfield Elementary School board for eight years. “My mom’s legacy was making a difference,” Livermore said. “She really had a heart for teaching, but she really had a big heart for the underdog, the kids that struggle … just pouring in the extra hours to make sure that they were taken care of. She lived her life to make a difference in the next generation.”According to School Connect founder and CEO Tracey Beal, Scott Libby Elementary chose to put the funding toward a teacher wellness room to show its support of its educators. Throughout the challenges of the past two years, its teachers have worked “tirelessly” to ensure their students thrive academically and have access to social and emotional support. “This will be the place they can come to get their cup filled before filling the cups of their kids. Teacher support and appreciation is a powerful way to invest in our kids,” Beal said. “We are thrilled to recognize the excellence of education at Scott Libby and send a clear message to educators that they areWhilevalued.”the school already houses a similar room dedicated to nurturing the well-being of the students, the benefits of the teachers’ wellness room will ultimately reflect upon the student body. “We want what’s best for our students, and we know that the teachers are the stewards of that vision.

precisely what the Department of “Just Us” is doing right now. Simply stated, the Biden administration authorized a raid of the home of a former president, who could very well face Joe Biden as the Republican presidential nominee again in 2024. As the shocking news spread, former Speaker Gingrich put the sordid episode into context: “If they can do this to a former and potentially future president, what can they do to you … or your cousin, or your friends, or your neighbors? And I think it’s a very scary step towards a police state.”
Reagan concluded that thought in a way that sounded both presidential and prophetic: “Or one day, we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States. Where men were free.”
Thoughtful Americans, regardless of partisan label or political philosophy, find themselves mourning the unprecedented FBI raid on the home of a formerNopresident.lessaliberal than Alan Dershowitz, lifelong Democrat and Harvard Law professor emeritus, wrote that the “full-scale morning raid on former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home does not seem justified. … If it is true that the basis of the raid was the former President’s alleged removal of classified material from the White House, that would constitute a double standard ofInjustice.”acolumn written for “The Hill,” Dershowitz goes on to explain that two figures who have enjoyed his political support — 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and former national security adviser Sandy Berger — were spared raids of their homes “for comparable allegations of mishandling official records in the recentDershowitzpast.” has repeatedly warned against the criminalization of political differences, but that appears to be ‘Mourning in America’

The “Reagan Renaissance” is seldom heralded by today’s history scholars, and that’s a shame.Forthose who do attempt to explain it, a one-liner is usually all they can spare from their considerable labors to revise the past so that they may pacify the “woke” among us. And predictably, their minimalist assessment goes something like this: “Ronald Reagan’s boundless optimism induced his fellow countrymen into believing it was ‘Morning in America’ again.”That’s it. But for the vast majority of Americans who were of voting age in the 1980s and experienced the “Age of Reagan” firsthand, they know it was much more. The end of “stagflation.” The restoration of a strong national defense as well as a strong economy. And yes, a consensus that “America was back.” No wonder the 40th president won a second term in a landslide of historic proportions, carrying 49 states and the District of Columbia. The television ad that typified the successful 1984 campaign proclaimed that “It’s ‘Morning in America’ again.” As mentioned before, that line so resonated within the national consciousness that even contemporary critics employ it in fashioning a quick dismissal of the Reagan years. While conservative historian and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich describes Reagan’s distinguishing characteristic as “cheerful persistence,” the fact is that the former radio sportscaster and Hollywood actor was likewise persistent in warning Americans about a fate considerably less cheerful. “Freedom,” Reagan said, “is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same…”

Damion ArmstrongAvondale Fuel Editor: Isn’t it interesting that the price of fuel is dropping when the excuse for raising it was the wars in the East? Last time I looked they were still having the war and we have not received a drop of fuel from Russia… Now some politicians that voted to curb our own production are asking the oil companies to produce more fuel. They still aren’t willing to start up the Keystone XL project again. It is amazing how the double-talk starts when elections loom over the leaders, and I use that term loosely… Maybe it is time the government took over the oil companies and made the price of fuel the same in all stations across America. It is sad when a few companies and greedy politicians can put the United States into a recession with no accountability, many with the blessing of the politicians…

The current government ideology or neoliberal era or Reagan/Thatcher era has not failed. It is doing exactly what it was designed to do.

Patent laws Editor: Consistently every year, taxpayer money is spent covering at least half of pharmaceutical research and development costs. If it’s taxpayer funded it automatically becomes public domain. No individual or shareholders should be profiting off taxpayers’ money. This is not only socialism for the rich, it’s also central planning.Bigpharmaceutical companies are not the only companies socializing the cost and privatizing the profits. Five of the six major functions of an iPhone were technologies developed by DARPA, a government program. If it’s taxpayer funded, it should be in the public domain. The problem is we don’t have a government for and by the people. Since the 1930s, we have lived under two political philosophies — the new deal era or Keynesian economics — which in general consisted of highly regulated industries and high taxes on the very rich. Under this philosophy we won the Cold War, landed on the moon, invested in long-term technologies (such as DARPA), and spent more money on the boomer generation than any generation before or since.
The Clinton administration with majority GOP Congress passed these neoliberal laws. Both these political parties are guilty and flat out un-American.

Then there’s former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Once a political juggernaut, a lawman sought out by presidents seeking to kiss his ring and parts further south, Arpaio, now 90, lost his fourth consecutive election earlier this month — for the lofty title of mayor of Fountain Hills. To someone named Ginny Dickey. Who beat Arpaio, once America’s Toughest Sheriff, by 213 votes. This despite Arpaio spending $161,000, or about 31 bucks for each of his 5,207 votes. The great ones never know when to bid us goodbye.

I met Arpaio in 1995, a few weeks after I moved to Arizona. He was two years into his 24-year run as sheriff, a law enforcement sideshow full of bombast and bull. The gimmicks seemed endless: pink underwear so jail inmates wouldn’t steal undergarments, Tent City tours on 117-degree days, meals of donated fruit and green baloney to save the taxpayers money. There was a roguish charm to Arpaio then, like he was in on the joke, a hound for headlines who reveled in being despised by reporters and liberals alike. During my early days as a columnist for the Tribune, I went to Arpaio with an insane idea: put me undercover on the chain gang. He couldn’t say “yes” fast enough. MCSO deputies sneaked me into the jail at 3 a.m., gave me a sweat-stained uniform, and chained me to a crew of convicts. To a man, my fellow inmates confided that chain gang duty was better than sitting in the tents all day. We gathered trash from roadsides in the sweltering summer heat, passers-by constantly honking and giving us the finger. I got a column and a bunch of TV interviews out of the deal. Arpaio got to read his name in bold news type yet again. In the early days, Arpaio’s mantra I thought would serve him for eternity: You will never live better in jail than you live on the street. Eventually he lost sight of what made him a political rock star, instead using the sheriff’s office to target political opponents. Arpaio failed to investigate serious crimes, and he misused the people’s money like a drunken lottery winner. As American politics got meaner after the turn of the century, tough Old Joe moved his crosshairs from criminals to anyone with brown skin. In 2016, Arpaio lost to Paul Penzone, a retired Phoenix cop who has returned law enforcement focus and decorum back to the sheriff’s office. Two years later, Arpaio lost in a GOP Senate primary. In 2020, he lost in the Republican primary for sheriff. Last year, announcing his candidacy for mayor of Fountain Hills, he told Fox News, “What do you want me to do? Go fishing? Go golfing? I don’t do anything. My hobby is work. I’ve done that my whole life. I’m not stopping now.” Arpaio in his prime fooled me totally. Back in 2001, “60 Minutes” did a bio piece headlined “Joe the Jailer.” How does it end for Arpaio? “It’s gonna wear out when this guy passes away giving his speech in Sun City at 9 at night and he slumps forward into his rubber chicken,” was my assessment. “That’s when it wears out and not a moment before.” We were younger then. The moment seemed eternal. It always does with the great ones, until it does no longer.

Talk about a game-changer. After years of overwhelming support, the Arizona Interscholas tic Association will add a 35-second shot clock to Arizona high school basketball in the 6A through 3A conferences. This will be the first time a shot clock will be used for AIA-sanctioned high school basketball in the state. Although a vast majority of coaches, players and fans approve of the change, financial and logistical issues have long strained schools across Arizona. During the 2021-22 school year, each conference voted on whether to adopt rules outlined by the National Federation of High School Athletics that include a 35-second shot clock on each end of the court, and detailed rules for the officials and clock operators. The 6A through 3A conferences voted to adopt the rules; 2A and 1A did not. “The shot clock is going to change the game,” said De’Rahn Stinson, coach of Raymond S. Kellis High School in Glen dale. “It’s going to make games faster and be more high-scoring.”
“I just think it’s one of the rule chang es that we’re going to have to adapt to sooner or later,” Portela said. “Everyone wants to have the same experience. No one wants to feel that they’re any lower than anyone else.”
Snowflake High’s shot clock issues, however, stem from uncontrollable sup ply-chain issues. “We ordered our clocks in the spring. Schools operate financially between July 1 and June 30, and we were told it would be in and up by June 30,” Standerfer said. “But because of manufacturing is sues, the product will not be in until the end of July, and we still need to schedule a crew to come up here and install it.”
Standerfer also expressed a concern held by many athletic departments across the state: Will they be able to find qual ified people to operate the shot clocks? “My biggest concern is going to be finding someone who understands the rules,” Standerfer said. “And not just in Snowflake but anywhere you go, there’s going to be a learning curve over the next few Saguaroyears.”athletic director Matt Harris has high school and college basketball coaching experience, most recently as an assistant men’s basketball coach at Ari zona Christian University in Glendale. At the college level, Harris remembers stoppages in almost every game as the referee checked the scorer ’s table to ad just or sync the shot clock. “It adds a new dimension for the ref erees to focus on and another dimension for the scorer’s table,” Harris said. “But I believe it will be figured out in time.”
Arizona set to add shot clocks for high school basketball
Stinson and other shot clock support ers are excited because coaches will be forced to scheme differently. Teams no longer will be able to run out the game clock with a motion offense, and deci sions on each offensive possession will have to be quicker Stinson also believes the shot clock gives an advantage to teams that play great defense. Teams with a strong de fense when possession length was con trolled by the offense should experience even higher levels of success with pos sessions limited to 35 seconds. Coach Lucas Ramirez of Saguaro High School in Scottsdale sees the in stallation of shot clocks helping to pre pare his players for the next level. “From a basketball standpoint, and just improving the game, I think it’s very beneficial,” Ramirez said. “It translates to the next level where everyone has a shot clock on the collegiate stage. If that’s what we want to prepare our guys for, then it’s fantastic.”
Portela spoke about how his teams have played in many out-of-state tourna ments, some with a shot clock and some without. He believes that a more consis
tent set of rules between states would be beneficial for the game overall. “I just think if we’re all kind of on the same page and parallel, it’s just going to help our game out so there’s no confusion,” Portela said.
Some hold the opinion that the addition of the shot clock is unnecessary because, according to NCAA research, only 3.4% of high school basketball players go on to play any level of college basketball. But Stinson disagrees. “It’s true that not everyone will play college, but everybody should want to strive to be better than what they are right now,” Stinson said. “That should be everyone’s goal. Shot clocks force our players to improve.”
Kevin Standerfer, the athletic director at Snowflake High School in Snowflake, said his coaches are all for the new rule. They are excited to see how the rule change affects game pace and scoring. He related the rule change to the addi tion of the three-point line in 1987 and how many opposed to shot clocks are bringing up the same hypotheticals that were used back then. “Did (the three-point line) affect the game some? I would say it did,” Stand erfer said. “At the start of a possession, you would try to inch closer and closer to take the closest shot possible. Now, play ers learn to stay back 18 to 20 feet so they can step into their three-point shot. There was a learning curve, but we adapted.” A majority of issues with the new rules come from the production, delivery and installation of the shot clocks. Standerfer said Snowflake High handled the cost of the clocks, but he has heard that other northern Arizona schools have had issues getting the necessary funding. Some schools have outdated main scoreboards, which would not integrate with a shot clock and would require a replacement of the entire scoreboard system.
A 35-second shot clock will be part of the 2022-23 basketball season for 6A to 3A Arizona high schools. Although most coaches embrace the addition, they caution that shot clocks will require a learning curve.

The addition of a shot clock will un doubtedly change Arizona high school basketball, most believe for the better. “(The shot clock) adds to the atmo sphere and makes it feel like you’re in the NBA for some kids,” Stinson said. “Because this is the highest level some kids will ever play. (Varsity) high school basketball is their NBA.”
Coach Ray Portela of Sunnyslope High School in Phoenix believes the change is a step in the right direction toward es tablishing consistency with high school basketball rules across the country.

Among her role models is biology teacher Kristen Kohli. “I can absolutely say, even though she was considered one of those rigor ous teachers, every single class period of hers was incredibly engaging and fun,” Davis said. This summer, Davis will travel to Tucson to participate in UA’s New Start program, which will allow her to adjust to college life and take classes before the semester starts. She hopes to use her $3,500 Cox Diversity Scholar ship to cover the costs of the program.

In her 18 years, Lindsay Davis has been passionate about neuroscience and mental health. She’ll use her numerous scholarships — including a $192,000 STAMPS prize — to study neuroscience, cogni tive science and psychology at the UA thisThefall.topics hit home for Davis.
Davis is ready to go to college but, admittedly, will miss Estrella Foothills. “It is really bittersweet,” Davis said. “I will miss so many things about high school, and it’s really weird that I won’t be going back to that campus once school starts, but I’m ready and really excited for college … and for all of the opportunities I will now have.”
Earlier in the year, UA helped the Valley teen find the application for the Cox Diversity Scholarship through one of its scholarship search databases. Da vis applied and was later chosen. She found out the week of her high school graduation.“Itwasvery exciting but humbling at the same time,” Davis said. “I really am honored to see there are lots of people out there that see the lots of talents that I have and really think I can go for it.”
Estrella
She chose UA because she’s been raised a Wildcat, even singing the fight song and placing flags with her family on game days. Beyond the culture, Da vis is interested in the school’s research programs and its strength in the medi cal field. “They are also one of the few col leges out there that have programs to support people with ADHD and condi tions like that,” Davis said. “They have something called the Strategic Alternative Learning Tech niques center (SALT center), which provides a variety of resources to en sure the success of their students.”

“I have Asperger’s and attention defi cit hyperactivity disorder,” said Davis, who will minor or have an emphasis in computer science. “I have always been very passionate about neuroscience and mental health. This is the exact thing that drives what I want to do later on in life. I want to be a neuropsychologist, and I want to be able to study ADHD and autism spectrum disorders.”
ning a scholarship, Davis volunteers at Silver Lining Riding, which offers therapeutic horseback riding. To help future generations with As perger’s, Davis has also submitted a DNA sample to SPARK (Simons Pow ering Autism Research). “They are doing a genetic study with autism to see if there are any of the hallmark genes that could be attribut ed to the condition and if there are any genetic patterns there for inheritance,” she“Insaid.about a year, they will let me know if any of the genes they have been look ing at more closely were ones in any of my sequenc es.”She’s just as busy outside of school. She enjoys puz zles and extracurricular ac tivities. At Estrella Foothills, she was in robotics, presi dent of her math club, in the National Honor Society, and a part of a math honor soci ety. Davis also loves graphic design and has created club T-shirts for her school. She was also a part of the Arizona Science Center Teen Advisory Board. Davis recommends the board for any teen who is interested in science.Davis is proud of her ac complishments — and hap py to share them. “This year I was able to reach out to a lot of differ ent students, many of them who are neurodiverse like me and have closed themselves up in these shells and real ly didn’t see their talents,” she said. “I was able to see them open up and blos som,” she said. If Davis could describe her life in three words, she would choose stimu lating, curious and incredible. Davis hopes everyone can see that everything they do has value in some way, shape or form. “All of you matter greatly,” she said. Lindsay Davis was in robotics, president of her math club, in the National Honor Society, and a part of a math honor society. (Lindsay Davis/Submitted)
