The Washington State Board of Education and the Association of Washington Student Leaders is proud to announce the future addition of Castulo Gonzalez as Western Washington Student Representative on the Board. Castulo is currently a sophomore at W.F. West High School in Chehalis.
When Castulo found this opportunity, he was motivated by his love of academics and problem solving.
“I am a driven and proud Chicano student,” said Castulo. “I am passionate about languages, dedicated to learning, and I dream of becoming an airline pilot or forester. I see this as an opportunity to be a voice for my people as well as others who can't get their voice out to people who can alter someone's future in certain ways.”
