Ashland High School

We would like to take this time to acknowledge and celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander month by highlighting the 2025 theme: "A Legacy of Leadership and Resilience". Our first honoree is Michelle Yeoh who has served as an inspiration within cinematography. Michelle Yeoh has won the Oscar for Best Actress, making her the first Asian woman to do so and the second woman of color. She also won the SAG Award for Best Actress, becoming the first Asian woman to achieve that as well. Our favorite quote by Michelle Yeoh, “It's very important for us all to understand that we are interconnected and we need to hold hands together, especially when the going gets tough.” Attention Queer students and straight allies, QSA will be hosting a movie night showing Spiderman: Into the Spider-Verse on Wednesday, May 7th at 5:00 in room H-29.
