Co-President  |  Natalee Leber
Natalee has a daughter at AHS and a son at Brophy. Her past Executive roles include Secretary and Treasurer.

She brings a positive attitude and insight to every discussion, and has been a wonderful addition to the Arcadia family.
ADVICE FOR AHS STUDENTS: Your way isn't always the correct way and try being open to new ideas and perspectives.
