After working at AHS for six years, three of which she spent as a student banker, Marilynn Chun recently transferred to San Gabriel High School (SGHS) under a new district policy which rotates student bankers.
“We definitely miss Mrs. Chun; it’s the end of the school year and there’s a lot going on right now,” Assistant Principal of Business and Activities Phuong Nguyen said.
The current student banker, Elizabeth Cloud, is an interim banker, meaning that she is here at AHS until the end of the school year. At the beginning of the 2013-2014 school year, administrators will open up the position to applicants to find a more permanent banker.
“I feel like it was truly Alhambra’s loss since [Mrs. Chun] always helped clubs and ASB with [many things], such as ordering t-shirts, contacting DJs and much more,” senior Kimberly Phan said.
Others remain unsatisfied with given explanations for the transfer.
“Through ASB and council, I was able to get to know Mrs. Chun really well, and all of us were pretty much heartbroken and outraged,” junior Emily To said. “[ASB] was just told that SGHS needed [a student banker], but all of us were still wondering, why not just keep Mrs. Chun here and send someone [else] to SGHS? When we questioned [it], the district had nothing to say about it.”
Nevertheless, AHS will have to adjust to next year’s new student banker for a richer school experience.
