Ava LeJeune is a cheerleader at Ascension, and she has also participated in basketball, cross country, and soccer. She served as the Community Prefect last year, and she was the only junior to be selected as a Prefect that year. Ava says, “it was an honor to be selected, and I am very grateful for it. I made some lifelong friends in leadership and I will continue to do so as I serve as Lead Prefect my senior year.” Ava’s biggest piece of advice to all of the underclassmen is not to stress and enjoy the time you have at Ascension and that it is a truly amazing place. She says that Ascension has become her second home. She also says that “soon enough, all the upperclassmen that you’ve looked up to your whole high school career will be off changing the world, and it’s your turn to lead the school and time flies when you’re a Blue Gator so enjoy it.” Ava has been a member of the SADD Club, Food Club, and Cupcakes for Causes during her time at Ascension. Another one of her favorite memories was when the leadership team had a big sleepover in the portable buildings the night before the Academic Pep Rally last year. She says it was so much fun to be with the class of 2021 one last time before they set off into the world.
