-- Andrew Solis, who maintains a 4.0 grade-point average in Modesto High School's rigorous International Baccalaureate program, is an excellent role model, says school counselor Linda Zoslocki.

Andrew believes his making a difference at Modesto High School comes from being in leadership.

He and his leadership classmates help create a united campus.

"We put on events where students can show their school spirit," said Andrew "And when fellow students show their school spirit, they show that they are a part of something bigger."

Andrew is Associated Student Body president. He also has been on the cross-country and track and field teams, and in the orchestra.
