As she stands in the auditorium head girls soccer coach Jaqueline Tevis-Butler speaks to several Millard West athletes about women in leadership. On Thursday, Feb. 3, Tevis-Butler discussed the anniversary of Title IX. “I think one of the things we can also do is continue to advertise and celebrate the possibilities, teamwork, sense of belonging and support you get being a part of an athletic team in high school,” Tevis-Butler said. “One thing weve been doing the last 2-3 years is visiting the middle schools more often to talk to the younger girls who are thinking of quitting their sport in general.”

Using nothing but her vocal cords, senior Campbell Macy shows off her talents with the SNJ Singers, an a cappella group which is an audition-only group. The a cappella group performs about five times a year in a variety of locations, but their most popular concert is their winter holiday concert. “Being in the group means you have a lot of responsibility to learn the music and you also have to be able to dedicate time outside of rehearsal sometimes to be able to do that,” Macy said. “This is part of the reason why it’s an audition only group since Joel, our director, wants to know that the people in the group are going to take their commitment seriously.”
