Miley Naugle, Reporter

My name is Miley Naugle, I am a 9th grade reporter on the AAHS Mountain Echo. Last year I was on the Livewire staff at the AAJHS. My favorite thing to do as a part of the staff, was take photos. I have always had a love for photography. I also enjoy running and playing Basketball. I run Cross Country and long distance for Track. I have been running since 7th grade. This is my eighth year playing Basketball. I am part of the Student Council and I am also in chorus. In my free time I enjoy hanging out with my friends and spending time with my little sister. I am very exited to be a part of the staff and can't wait to see what this year brings!
