Senior Caroline Petithomme has a perplexing last name and a fancy new title. Next year, Petithomme will be San Luis Obispo High School’s Associated Student Body President. To reach this position, she first had to be nominated as an officer by the students then chosen as president by last year’s executive council. Petithomme will take over responsibility last year’s ASB President, SLOHS graduate Bella Stenvall. Seniors Cami Love, Kannan Freyaldenhoven, and Mark Olson will take over as vice president, secretary, and treasurer next year. These students will be in charge of rallies, dances, school spirit, meetings, and finances. Expressions interviewed next year’s ASB President to see what her plans are for the 2016-2017 school year.
