¡Hóla! My name is Alannah Heyward. I am a sophomore at AAHS. This is my firs year on the Mountain Echo, I am also part of the yearbook staff as well. I do a lot of activities outside of Mountain Echo and yearbook, which involve basketball, clubs and cooking. During my free time, I am usually playing basketball, with my niece, or playing with my dog. I am a very friendly person and I am also a family person. I am honored to be on staff and can’t wait to see what this year brings.
