Ben Royer

 After graduation, I will be attending Willamette University to study political science. For me, high school doesn't have one particular moment that stands out above the rest. Instead, high school has been a culmination of four amazing years. I think about all of the relationships that I have been able to make, the two sports, golf and soccer, that I have been able to participate in, and my time in ASB. All of these things are very special to me and have made high school such an incredible experience that I am so thankful for.
