Ananda O'Neill is a Senior at Ashland high school and has been an outstanding student during his time here. He strives for all A’s year after year and does very well at it. He’s lived here in Ashland almost his entire life. Before the age of 5, he lived in the small-town of Ojai, California. After taking culinary class he’s found that he enjoys cooking and baking in his free time. On top of that he really enjoys running, competing in track during his sophomore and junior years. He’s very anxious for the upcoming season after coming off an injury last year. Another hobby he is picking up this year is learning how to play guitar after enrolling in a class. Ananda is always a fun, nice, and caring guy to be around. He always has a smile on his face during class and is always participating, no matter the topic. He’s a great student and all around a great human being, his role in Rouge news is editing the format of the paper and laying it all out so it looks smooth as silk.
