Kalani Gaviola, Chapter 167 – Paso Robles High School
Adviser Jennifer Martinez
Principal Megan Fletcher
Paso Robles Public School District
For the past three years, Kalani has been an active member of her Paso Robles CSF chapter assisting with projects from riverbed cleanup days, to club fairs, and peer mentoring. But, where her voice is most often heard is through her school’s Newsmagazine called Crimson, where she currently serves as the editor in chief. Her leadership has led to her school’s online media being recognized as the 3rd best high school newsmagazine in the nation, and earning her a Journalist of the year for last year. Also on campus, Kalani is the ASB Student Director for the past two years, where her proudest accomplishment has been to bring to her school, and lead for the past three years, the Culture Expo, a time of laughter, food, learning and acceptance regardless of a student’s ethnicity. Other leadership roles include serving as president of the Superintendent’s Council, serving as the editor in chief of a “district highlights” magazine to advertise the school district to potential homebuyers, and a two year term as president of the Rotary International: Interact Club. Kalani has already been accepted to the UC Berkeley Regents Program, but is still awaiting acceptance from UCLA, UC San Diego and Harvard before making her final college decision. She plans to major in either English or Anthropology, and might even one day become a lawyer. Looking at her now, you might not realize it, but Kalani is obsessed with eating raw cookie dough. In fact, the first thing she does when arriving in a new town is look for stores that sell it.
